Ok, does somebody know how can i check what core 32 or 64 bits has my Mac?

click the 'apple' menu & click 'about this mac'.... if it says Core Duo.. its 32bit... and if it says Core2Duo.. its 64bit...

like its been said a number of times on this thread now :)

It's not your fault that Intel chose a confusing naming convention for their products, but it is simply this:

Core 2 Duo = 64 bits (note the 2 here)

Core Duo = 32 bits (note the absence of the 2 here)

If your MacBook is a late 2007 model, like you said, then when you open the System Profiler, you will see Core 2 Duo. Apple stopped shipping the Core Duo MacBooks in late 2006 (I know, because I got one and then the Core 2 Duos came out!).

what the hell lets repeat it again

CORE DUO=32 bit

CORE 2 DUO = 64 bit

See the difference?!?!?!

ok im done

http://www.intel.com/products/proces...ifications.htm

Voala... it's 64 bit :)

lol, after all that - you got the answer from the Intel website... :|

For what it's worth, Apple official announcement today about Snow Leopard is that it will be Intel only.

Trevor

So this went to two (2) pages because you didn't notice that people were telling you the whole time the difference is between Core Duo & Core 2 Duo? Those are two (2) different product models.

Many G5's were 64 bit, but not all. I don't remember but I don't think any G4's were. 'PPC code' doesn't necessarily mean anything anymore since they claimed with Leopard the OS and all bundled apps are Universal Binary. Also, it won't make a huge difference since 32 bit Intel macs will be supported, and presumably miss out on the majority of the performance increase of being a 64 bit OS versus simply being able to execute 64 bit apps in a 32 bit environment.

Snow Leopard is definitely designed for Core 2 Duo or better Macs, regardless of what is supported.

Did you guys see the upgrade price?

$29.00:eek:

As for the 32/64 bit - bit I do believe both library files are included and it can or should be able to run on both....

That is just my speculation

Yes you're correct, they stated it can run on any Intel Mac.

I saw the $29 upgrade price and started looking for disclaimers. I hope it holds.

Hope that they have an inexpensive Server upgrade price, too, but have noticed no information given on that front.

The $29 upgrade price signals that this is more like the 10.1 update--lots of improvements but no new features. I'm sure that 10.7 will be back to a price of $129 or thereabouts.

The people reading this (who are universally smart and amazingly good-looking) are cognizant of why improvements like those reported in Snow Leopard are worth paying for. But the unwashed masses look for new features to buy an OS upgrade. And since Snow Leopard doesn't really have any fancy new features they are likely to pass on a full $129 price, but might just buy a $29 upgrade, just to be up-to-date.

Trevor

I agree, now only if MS does this with Windows 7 for Vista users. I would like to upgrade my Vista box at home but don't want to pay a lot for it for improvement and not any new features. Unless you want to count DX11 support a feature.

I'm expecting it will drive the few holdouts still running Tiger on Intel Macs to upgrade to Leopard in anticipation for Snow Leopard. They have said there are some new features, but it's not their focus this time.

At the time it is released, it won't be worth running anything lower than 10.6 if you have an Intel Mac.

I think they stated the Snow Leopard Server upgrade will be $429, not 100% sure on this though.

Whereas we Tiger holdouts on PPC hardware have no more reason to adopt that bad kitty than we ever did.

Why would the holdouts upgrade to Leopard now? Assuming that they have Intel hardware, they are better off waiting until September (since they've already waited this long) and only paying $29 instead of paying $129 + $29!

Has eveyone missed the Snow Leopard upgrade requirements from Tiger?

That seems to say that there will be a full install, included with the Mac Box Set (includes iLife and iWork) - and that the $29 Snow Leopard does not provide for upgrading from Tiger, unless you want to also purchase Leopard. So, there's your $129 plus $29
That would make the box set a better deal, as you get everything at once.
Can anyone say that won't be the case?

Some say the beta can be upgraded to retell version:-( True?

That's an anonymous type of statement if I ever saw one. People can say anything they like. You may not expect that a beta of any operating system will be stable or safe to use. Unless Apple releases a public beta, which should allow an upgrade to the final version (or might not), you can't assume that will work.

That rumor cannot be proven yet, so you can only guess, and that guess may be wrong (as some guesses are, eh?)
If you must 'play', be prepared to pay. That means a full, usable backup before you install the beta. OF course, if you are a developer, you would already be aware of all this...
See you in September!

It says there will are 32 and 64bit version both.
