So I was kinda reluctant to go Snow Leopard on my 2006 macbook pro, 2,33 ghz, 2 RAM., thinking that it would get slower.

But i eventually did. First I benchmarked (geekbench) Tiger, installed a clean Leopard, benchmarked, then installed Snow Leopard and benchmarked...

Here are the results:

TIGER : 3100 POINTS

LEOPARD : 3082 POINTS

SNOW LEOPARD : 3208 POINTS


So, for all of you out there, worrying that Snow Leopard will slow your tiger-machine down. Just do it!

I know GeekBench isnt a perfect tool, but it does confirm that SL is fast - even on older models...
 
that's really amazing - think about going from xp to vista......

I know tiger is newer than xp but still...
