There has been a spate of recent software updates recently. ATI seems to have fixed their initial problems with their updates (http://www.ati.com). Please note that there are two versions of their drivers updates, for 10.2 and 10.3 respectively. Please especially note that the update is ONLY for the retail video cards NOT for the OEM video cards that Apple installs in your machines -- it takes a vary careful viewing of ATI's footnotes to glean this important bit of info out of the rest.
Apple has also released quite a few updates to its Pro line of software (DVD Studio Pro, Shake, etc.) Also Apple released its BlueTooth Firmware updater which is supposed to make things work better for those sorts of things. For older legacy systems, Ryan Rempke has released and updated XPostFacto to version 3.08. This piece of software allows you to install Panther on the older systems -- previous to the G4 chips, such as the PowerMac 7xxx - 9xxx series along with some of the older G3 systems. The latest version includes improvements that allow you to make 10.x CDs that will boot on the older systems. Not all hardware thingies are supported (sound inputs is still troublesome), but if you have an older pci style Mac that has been upgraded with a G3 or G4 card, reports are that Panther runs quite well on them (and yes, better than Jaguar did). Just hit version tracker or the respective company's website(s) for the updates. Jerry p.s.
