If you need to upgrade Safari to 3.2.1, you need to first upgrade Mac OS X to 10.5.5 and then update Security Update 2008-007 Client (Leopard)

To upgrade 10.5.5, you can download this update from Apple
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1055update.html

After update to 10.5.5, you just need to reinstall the GMA950 driver and everything works except mic / line input

Then download the Security Update 2008-007 here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/securityupdate2008007clientleopard.html

Then in the Software Update, you can have the option to upgrade Safari to 3.2.1
