Yes, that driver does indeed work. Displays as a "D-Link RangeBooster N 650".
FWIW, I was able to discover an access point that was previously unavailable. Even when in OS X using that driver.

Other changes as noted by bcavanau:
QUOTE
- There is definately no removable HD bay.
- Case has not changed, with only exception being new FW800 Port.
- I have no dead pixels.
- No screen whine, mooing, excessive fan noise. (even DVD drive seems quiter).
- Hard drive (120GB) is Fujitsu MHW2120BH
- DVD Drive (6X-DVD-DL) is Matshita UJ-857D
- Heat seems to be about the same, however I have not done anything taxing.
- Airport reception seems to be consistent with previous model. I never tested distance, but signal strength is the same on my desk.

Clock frequencies on the X1600:

I found another ATI overclocking util...
Here is what I found.
Core clock is running at 418.50
Core voltage is .850
Memory clock is 450.00
Memory voltage is 1.80
I/O voltage is 1.80
Compare this to the old numbers:Here is what I found.

The speed differential was spotted by a poster on French-language site MacBidouille, the site reports. The correspondent ran ATI's ATI Tools utility - version 0.25, a beta release - running under Windows XP. The software revealed his MacBook Pro's X1600 was clocked at 310MHz and the memory at 278MHz (556MHz effective).
MacBidouille repeated the process and confirmed the numbers, adding that ATI recommends system vendors run the GPU with a core frequency of 475MHz and setting the memory clock to 470MHz (940MHz effective).
And finally, bcavanau's review on the MBP C2D:MacBidouille repeated the process and confirmed the numbers, adding that ATI recommends system vendors run the GPU with a core frequency of 475MHz and setting the memory clock to 470MHz (940MHz effective).

Not a bad 3DMark05 score..
A little more exciting than a simple speed bump?
