As part of their continuing effort to refine, streamline and generally tweak the venerable OS X operating system, Apple has seeded an OS update labeled Snow Leopard Graphics Update to developers. While the update's general release notes state that the package addresses the reliability of graphics and games--issues that a broad spectrum of Mac users can certainly be excited about--the update also tackles other fine points in the OS, including VRAM utilization and hot-plugging.
With the number of resource heavy games now available to Mac users, thanks to the efforts of Blizzard, Valve and other noteables, it's comforting to see Apple giving some love to ensure that we end up with the best pew-pew experience possible.
It's anyone's guess when such improvements will find their way to consumers in the form of 10.6.5, but rumor has it that Apple is getting close to seeding the OS version update to developers in the near future.

Which developers? I looked at the free downloads section and there was nothing!
