The very first thing I noticed on installing todays patch was that SL is for the first time recognizing my full available Video Memory, including the Shared Memory (AGP Apriture) ...

Texturing seems to be a LOT faster now, most items rez with their textures... and more things are comming into focus without a massive wait. (Doubling the vid memory sure helped that ill bet!) I also noted that other people load much better, especially in crowded areas, and I have seen a signifigant increase in framerate. (Fraps now reports 10-12 fps, even without turning off the clouds and trees on my property where before it ran about 6-8 fps)

I have had a couple of crashes, one when I tried to go from full-screen to windowed, but I noticed the crash logger is actually working again.

I am still seeing packet loss, although I'm experiancing some "pockets" of 0% (They dont last long though) ... Still getting the disconnects/router lock; but not nearly as often. I actually managed to stay in SL for four hours today, in a dance club with people... with only about 3 crashes/disconnects.

Going in the right direction now I think, Maybe... I hope.
