Better, faster, easier : Mac OS X Snow Leopard
It’s not in September as previously announced, but maybe a little better. The devs at Apple have pulled through for an early launch of their latest creation, Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6).
With the worldwide downtime of the Apple Store this morning Apple added a pre-order page for 10.6 with the delivery date set for August 28th. The single user pack is available for $29 while the family pack (5-users) is priced at $49.
Said to be the next great step in enhancing your Mac experience, this next version of OS X comes with the latest version of Safari 4, out-of-the-box Exchange support and Apple’s next generation media player, Quick Time X. Among the next generation technologies Apple has included 64-bit support, Grand Central Dispatch and the technology to “unleash the power of graphics processors”, OpenCL.
Included in the box for this release includes the normal installation DVD (you would hope so eh) and documentation. In your box Apple is requiring 1GB of RAM and 5GB of free disk space. Also rumored to be required is an Mac computer with Intel processor, but we shall see about that!
This is an awesome update. Fast as hell! I bought it for my home use but I need to get my boss to finally get rid of that old PC and buy a Mac.
works great on p5kc
You can not install it now. I tried all the guidelines that exist on the internet and not working well. I’ll try from DVDDL. But I see everyone very lost. I’ve only got a very unstable system. For now I continue with 5.8. I think the main problem is getting a chameleon that really works for the SL.
im gonna wait for a install DVD, P4 doesnt boot retail to well right now im happy with my perfect 10.5.8 install. AnV 9.6.0. it runs almost perfectly… no input ):
I am running SL on a ASUS M50VM and it is amazing. A lot fast than leopard and more stable in my opinion on this machine. In 32 bit mode, It has full wireless and with the Voodoo sound and PS2 kext, I am running a FULLY functioning PC Laptop on Snow Leopard. I even bought the retail disk just to show my support for this great OS
They will see a return of their investment. They will save a lot of time for 10.7. They can focus on new shocking features on a more stable system.
