Just purchased the upgrade for apple's latest version of OS X snow leopard. It promises to be even better than the previous leopard, and the upgrade price was £25!!

That's interesting, Steve, and you're dead right. Somewhere along the line I thought that SL was still going to be for PowerPC chips as well. Perhaps the rumour mill got it wrong. So maybe now is the time to buy a new Apple![]()
Yeah I ordered it too, in my case for €29. Excellent value for a new operating system which will speed up your machine and also give you back a couple of gigs disc space.slemishwoodcrafts":30haav1r said:I just bought it because at that price, I saw it has good value.

A couple?/ They're claiming 7Gb reclaimed which is rather good.

Ooh..thanks for that Steve - you've just stopped me potentially making a very bad mistake!! It's very hard to fathom out which CPUs the ones on eBay have and even on the Apple site for that matter. For example, on the Apple site, the iMac clearly says Core 2 Duo but the current Mac Pro just says a Nehalem Xeon quad core...so does this not run 64 bit stuff?
