Has Civ IV been fixed for SR MBP (8600M GT)?

[maccanuck2006]

I have been waiting to buy Civ IV for OS X but have held off because of reports (from the online Apple Store and here on Macrumors) that it crashes with the Nvidia 8600m GT on Santa Rosa MBPs.
Aspyr has patched it since but the Readme with the patch doesn't indicate whether or not it has fixed this bug. I have searched these forums and googled this and have come up with nothing.
Anyone with a SR MBP have any luck with this game in OS X?

I play CIV4 on my MBP with no problems so far. I havent played it long, but for the few minutes it was on, it worked fine

I've played for many many hours (in windowed mode, 1400x) and never had a single crash. Every once in awhile a drawing glitch (like, during battles, invisible units, or the bottom right corner overview map getting messed up). Still, more playable than the windows version was on my compaq r3000.

I haven't seen any updates that fix it... but if they did it silently (1.74 patch?) I wouldn't know, since I don't have an 8600.

I am still waiting on the update my self. I hope it is soon, or I hope they release "Beyond the Sword" which should support the SR MBP if it comes out.

on the flipside I'm having trouble selling my copy of civ 3 for $20
