Running Mac OS X Snow Leopard - GoFuckYourself.com

DateDoc · 08-28-2009, 11:36 AM

Update cost $29.00 and took about an hour to install. No issues installing. 1Password requires a beta version that can be downloaded from their site. Everything else running well and faster. Love it!

hypedough · 08-28-2009, 11:42 AM

Any real speed difference?

DateDoc · 08-28-2009, 11:47 AM

The speed increase is noticeable.

digifan · 08-28-2009, 11:53 AM

I want it, I need it for my mac mini.. just maxed out my epass doh.

Brujah · 08-28-2009, 12:08 PM

Isn't it supposed to take up much less disk space too? Did it clear out a lot of extra files?

It's about 1/2 the size.

They dumped all the legacy PowerPC files and the printer drivers.

I do that with all of my OSX install anyhow. It usually frees up 4-7 gb.

Spudstr · 08-28-2009, 12:10 PM

Installed it this morning, and indeed it is a bit faster.

It is about half the size of Leopard. Approx 14GB of freed up space.

Serge Litehead · 08-28-2009, 12:15 PM

nice to know, ordered two last nite for my partner

Raja · 08-28-2009, 12:31 PM

I'm going to do the upgrade on Sunday. Can't wait!

KillerK · 08-28-2009, 12:31 PM

Doesn't it also support faster cpus and better video cards now?

Brujah · 08-28-2009, 12:40 PM

ok you've convinced me. I just ordered it.

munki · 08-28-2009, 12:42 PM

Orders in...

Sosa · 08-28-2009, 12:48 PM

$29.99 for the upgrade? Damn that's cheap.

NETbilling · 08-28-2009, 12:48 PM

Can you download it or must wait for the CD to ship?

Sosa · 08-28-2009, 12:53 PM

Just ordered it. Would be nice to just download it and have it install.

It is mostly improvements to speed up the Mac. Not too much has changed as in new gadgets. QuickTime was improved. You can record videos with it now and also record the desktop. Exchange support added.

You have to wait for the CD to ship or pick it up at the apple store.

DateDoc · 08-28-2009, 01:23 PM

Even though this is an upgrade from leopard to snow leopard rumor is you can go straight from tiger with the snow leopard upgrade disk @ $29.00 and do not need the full snow leopard box which is $169. Save that $140!

DeanCapture · 08-28-2009, 01:40 PM

Waiting for mine to arrive now. It's on the delivery truck - just hasn't made it here yet : (

GeoBeo · 08-28-2009, 01:44 PM

I pre-ordered mine this past Monday and says it wont be delivered until Sept 1. I should've waited to buy it at the store today. I cant wait to install it.

ianlester · 08-28-2009, 01:48 PM

Really annoying you can't download online.

XSV · 08-28-2009, 02:24 PM

Family pack getting installed tonight.

Karupted Charles · 08-28-2009, 02:25 PM

Running it here. It has some nice small feature changes and yes there is a speed increase on certain things. More programs will be affected as they upgrade to the new architecture.

gleem · 08-28-2009, 02:37 PM

wait a month people, always let someone else do the beta testing, been doing this since OS 7 and it always works out!!

DeanCapture · 08-28-2009, 05:16 PM

Installed it on my MacBook Pro and my iMac. So far....so good : )

I'll wait a few days before installing it on my Mac Pro - just to be safe!

Manowar · 08-28-2009, 05:19 PM

orddered it just now

Thurbs · 08-28-2009, 05:30 PM

huge improvements, some shit they will most likely need to patch or 3rd party people will, but all in all great.

interesting new feature. I always run my MBP with a 30" monitor at the office and one at my home office. now, each 30" monitor has it's own BG and i still have a different one on the laptop screen. weird little thing but cool.

born4porn · 08-28-2009, 05:33 PM

Thanks 4 the heads up. It looks like I will have to grab it for my MacPro and Macbook Pro!

JustDaveXxx · 08-28-2009, 06:44 PM

Its good. no problems. it is faster. Noticeably.

pamon · 08-28-2009, 07:57 PM

just picked it up at the Apple store. Girl says they've sold a ton. gonna install later on my macbook pro. wish me luck on the other side. Rave reviews and only $29. Apple FTW...

What's the Windows 7 pricing again... oh well....

Porn Grounds · 08-28-2009, 08:14 PM

Yeah I like to wait a little bit also before jumping into new upgrades..

Either way..check if all your software will be compatible http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/

NaughtyRob · 08-28-2009, 08:48 PM

Ordered mine, waiting for it in the mail.

NaughtyRob · 08-28-2009, 08:49 PM

Or order it at www.bestbuy.com and get free deliver like I did.

Huffer · 08-28-2009, 08:54 PM

ordered a few days ago - showed up today (free shipping).

It freed ~10GB of space and yea it does feel "snappier" worth the price of admission imho. Only thing I needed to update so far has been little snitch.

DraX · 08-28-2009, 09:29 PM

Does it work on my mac from 1980 ?

This thread misses all the awesome info of an upgrade such as the Snow Leopard.

http://www.ixdownload.com/news/best-...w-leopard.html

By the way are they first with the OpenCL feature ?

Ha, no it does not. Requires an Intel based Mac. That is one of the reasons it is lighter as it has no support for power PC.

I was at the apple store at 10am this morning

The 64 bit OSX upgrade is MUCH faster on my pro than the previous version of leopard was. Supposed to run our GeForce cards better as well... havent tested any games yet, the new Quicktime player look is legit and clean. Overall:

DateDoc · 08-29-2009, 08:54 AM

Surfing the web is faster too. Loading pages is taking a lot less time or appears too.

urb · 08-29-2009, 10:43 AM

Just installed Snow Leopard in the last hour on an IMac and I think my eyes are deceiving me....

The IMac monitor always seemed a little bright and lacking in contrast..... but I think the Snow Leopard upgrade has corrected this. WOW!! :D

I could be wrong....

pentae · 08-29-2009, 11:14 AM

I feel genuine pity every time I see someone at a coffee shop boot XP on their cheap and nasty Dell.

Babaganoosh · 08-29-2009, 11:18 AM

Lol @ everyone who paid for a SERVICE PACK!!!!!!!!

Porn Grounds · 08-29-2009, 11:25 AM

It was more then a service pack...

Maybe for Mac.

CYF · 08-29-2009, 04:28 PM

I'll be picking it up this next week, can't wait.

fmltube · 08-29-2009, 04:33 PM

Definitely a lot faster than Leopard. Though I have experienced higher CPU loads (70%) when playing back Flash. SL will really start to shine when authors write their apps to take advantage of 64bit. I only wish Final Cut Studio did that now.

Haha wow.. so it's still Mach based and now down to a single processor in the binaries. Just like NeXT before the brutal end.
