Snow Leopard Up-To-Date
2009 September 12
You might have missed this: If you buy/bought a Mac between June 8th and and September when Snow Leopard is released, Apple will hook you up with a Snow Leopard update for $9.95. Otherwise Snow Leopard will cost $29. **This program ends December 26, 2009.**
did you get the update yet? I’m still trying to decide if i wanna clean install windows 7 or upgrade. I’m thinking of going 64 bit so i will need to get a clean install anyways.
If you’re talking about Windows, you probably want to do a clean install, 64 bit or not. The ideal solution, though, would be to avoid Windows.
That would definitely be the best idea.
Well, I would say yes. You never want to upgrade an OS in the Windows world. Always do a clean install, it will save you headaches down the road.
I even recommend this for mac users when upgrading, if at all possible do a clean install. It will clean up your os files, install fresh drivers, and you’ll have a fresh partition table.
Oh..and less you need 64 bit windows, and your hardware vendors have drivers for 64 bit windows, its best to avoid it. Unless you will be using applications that utilize multi-thread processing, such as Adobe CS4 or Autocad, its best to stick with a 32-bit OS.
Um… why would you avoid a 64 bit operating system? They’re much more efficient. And in OS X, at least, Apple has worked in a lot of pretty easy to implement developer tools for multithreading.
I am talking the Windows world, I know it works fine on a mac. @beer drinker was referring to upgrading his os to Windows 7 64-bit, which most hardware vendors do not have support for just yet.
