There's a JIRA entry for the VBO crash on the new aluminum imacs. Go to http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2296 and place your vote if this affects you (or even if it don't, it'd be nice for this issue to get attention. :)

Thanks Windy for the work you have put in on this one, I have voted, lets hope something gets done about it :)

For those that don't know what VBO could do for us...it is reported that enabling this can double our client FPS...thats DOUBLE! I would love to find out first hand what that is like...please vote for this issue :)

If you mean vertex buffer objects, it doesn't do as much as double (at least not for me) but I tend to get around a 5-10 fps increase when I switch it on; depending on the area of course, lots of avatars kill me anyway =)

5-10 fps is still 5-10 fps. :)
