I have the problem with the video card already. Firth the battery started growing and messed up my trackball, got new battery and track pad, then teh video goes out. Id rather put up with virus than buying replacement parts every couple months with Apple. Ive put WAY more money into my APPLE than my Windows laptops.

Just a short note. I got my new 17″ about two weeks ago, came with the latest firmware installed (gMux-Version: 1.7.10). I´m encountering the problem anyway, especially when working with photoshop (When switching the vire with the “F” key, i get parts of the sreen grainy and also the guides are grainy in fullscreen view! so i suppose that the firmware update (or the latest version) doesn´t fix the problem with all machines? I gonna contact support tomorrow :-(

I got a new 17-inch MacBook Pro — shipped last week, arrived yesterday — and it had this update already applied. Just FYI. Also haven’t seen any issues yet.
