Existing users, 
Could you good VersionTracker folks put stuff like this in English, or at least say "You need to download this because ..." or "Don't worry about this unless ..." I haven't a clue what this is and whether to muck up my system with it.
Thanks.

What's New in This Version
Driver version 3.20 is a maintenance release of the ExpressPCI 'plus' driver with advanced OS X Panther support. For peak performance, ATTO recommends using this driver with your ExpressPCI UL3D/UL3S host adapter when using OS X Panther. This release, when used with the latest ATTO Configuration Tool utility version, includes support for dynamic SCSI bus rescan, allowing users to add and remove devices from the bus without a system reboot. The driver release read me file contains instructions on installing and using this driver release. You should use the latest version of the ATTO Configuration Tool and UL3D/UL3S flash file to update the adapter prior to installing the driver update.

Why to update every kext - Stuart Leitch
I update every kext whether I think I need it or not. Because:my G4 450 was having lots of •kernel panics•, sometimes six in a row. I almost gave up and bought a new Mac. A smart tech figured out that it might be a kext problem. I didn't know about them, but now I always update them.
(So, did the kernel panics stop? Yes, but they always were intermittent. I'd have a dozen in a day, then none for weeks. So I'm just being careful here with kext files.)
