So I love to play SL, I run under a mac book but God endless problems! SL runs fine for maybe 10 mins at a time, then crashes, and it just happens to take down the entire network with it and forces me to restart the whole laptop!
Are any other Mac users having these issues? I'm sure by now Linden labs are well aware of it, but are they even trying to fix it? This problem seems to have been here for months, I understand that LL has priorities to it's mass users who use windows. But what about us?

Have you used photoshop to calibrate your monitor? That used to cause my mac to crash on SL.

I have been having the same problem as well with it completely locking up the whole computer to where I have to fully hard reboot it. I run other processor intensive program on the computer and do not get the same issue. So yes I feel your pain and hope to find a solution as well.

Mac Book Pro 2.4 Ghz 15" with Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT and 2 gigs of ram

But the Apple vs PC advertising keeps telling us how Macs do everything better than PC's...........
