Since including the patch many months ago, I've received no bug
reports so far, so it should be quite safe to apply.
If you're interested in another person's experiences with the
patch, user "alphablue" on irc.openprojects.net has one of these
machines as well, and has recently provided me feedback that both
2D and 3D work well for him.
Hope this helps.
Take care,
