    Which should I be using on my MAC??

    Im running the latest version of Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro 13", 2.66GHz.

    Ive just heard about 'Gala' - should I be using this instead of the standard Flash?? If so do I need to remove Flash before installing Gala??

    Welcome to the Flash Player preview release, code-named “Gala,” which introduces support for H.264 video hardware decoding on Mac OS X 10.6.3, the most recent release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Gala allows developers to preview Flash Player with hardware acceleration of H.264 video on supported Mac computers equipped with the following GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 320M or GeForce GT 330M. The hardware acceleration functionality in the Gala preview release of Flash Player is expected to be included in an update following the release of Flash Player 10.1.

    Flash = Gala

    Gala 2 -- a Preview build of a future Flash update -- is what you want to have.

    So is it a beta or something at the moment?
    Does it remove Flash when you install Gala?

    you'll want to download the Flash Uninstaller on at the Gala link. uninstall what you have, then install Gala. simple process.

    and yes, it's a Beta...but I've not had any stability issues or anything that usually comes with Beta software. just grab it.
