well, there are new about faulty about the "GeForce 8600M GT" in mac book pro, and will offer replace even warranty expires, but how can i know if the chip works properly? does it work properly if nothing abnormal in my mac ? or the chip just works suboptimally and may not be noticed by users?

If there is no 'artifacting' happening on the screen when playing a game, or using Photoshop - or even just general use, then I think that it's safe to say the chip is working. Generally, if you have a graphics problem - you'll know about it.

It's already being discussed in this thread.
There is no general recall, but if you affected by the issue Apple will fix it for free even if your warranty has run out.

It's a physical failure (the parts seperate), so you're not going to know until it fails.
