The usual recommended approach to updating is to download the "combo" updater (PPC or Intel) from Apple's web site rather than use Software Update. There's a lower risk of something going wrong this way.

I'm downloading the update now.

Well I've never had any problems with using Software Update since OS X debuted at version 10.0.0

We've had a lot of discussion about using combo updaters instead of delta updaters. We've had polls about this as well, and basically, it's like this:

Delta updaters: Some users have problems.
Combo updaters: Next to no issues.

And then delta updater users fix their problems by using the combo updaters. So... Go figure. I think it's just not worth it to go with deltas. Sure: There are probably a lot of users without any problems using the deltas, but if the reports point to there being more problems on the deltas... Why bother.

Scary update. Two restarts and a very long blue screen of death after the "Starting OSX" and before the finder appears...
