I have almost the identical configuration as you but with only 1 GB 
memory. The trackpad clicking does indeed appear to be better since 
upgrading to 10.4.3, although the cursor still jumps a little on mine 
-- but usually only one or two pixels if at all, not the five-ten 
pixels like before. Definitely better. At home I usually use a 
trackball (the Kensington one with the scroll ring, which I really 
like), but on the road I just use the trackpad. I did a little 
searching on Macintouch.com but couldn't find anything new on this 
issue, so I'm not sure if/when it officially got fixed. Apple's doc 
on the 10.4.3 update doesn't mention it anywhere that I can see. Of 
course, Apple never really acknowledged there was a problem (and 
never replied to my emails to them about it), so I guess they can't 
admit they fixed (or partially fixed) it, either!
