So far the jury is still out on the cause of the WSOD. We don't know if it is something that would happen on a unit that is not upgraded that has some intensive video usage or if it happens because the Ermine update stresses the video chip.

When Entourage were up and running they fixed the odd couple of instances by replacing the mother board with out any quibbles which points to a hardware problem they were aware of.

That being said the number of failed units compared to the total number of units is very small.

As to the upgrade being worth it, only you can decide that by looking at what you want to do with the PE. Some apps will not run on anything less than 2.1 so if you want to use any in that category you will have to upgrade.

The best thing you can do is to use it as it is - it may need upgrading to 1.6 but that upgrade is safe (in fact it is the fall back position if anything goes wrong with 2.2) - and only go to 2.2 if you need it.
