New to MAC / Should I install OsX updates from Apple?

Hi everyone!

I'm absolutely new to Mac. I installed with success using Kalyway.

 

1) Should I download the updates from Apple?

 

2) On my first attempt I decided to install Leopard (Kalyway) without customizing any drivers or stuff. I just installed as it came (and it worked!). Now I'm getting more ambicious since display is not working at 100% (e.g: screen saver is not fluid).

How can I change the drivers? Should I start instalation from zero?

 

I didn't expect my PC to turn into a MAC that easy... thanks to all the guys who worked on this!!!!!

 

Best regards to all!

I have reinstalled from scratch, added video drivers and works awesome!

 

Micro Intel Pentium D 945 3.4 Ghz

Mother Asus P5LD2 Deluxe

2Gbs RAM DDR2 533 Mhz

Asus Geforce 7300 GT Silent

 

NOW: HOW DO I UPDATE? DO I HAVE TO REINSTALL EVERY TIME A NER VERSION ARISES?

 

Thanks, best regards!
