Im sure it will, but i wanna be sure that all my programs will work.

So basicly the system has less problems, and is faster.
But is it really worth it? I got a macbook aluminium (collectors edition) or what ever :p
I just wanna make sure that my mac will get faster. Cause its only 29 bucks.

Since it's only $29, then surely you may as well? Have you not read the site? Many things are 1.5x to 2.0x faster to open/complete. Grand Central Dispatch allows multi-processor usage, so distributing programs among cores for maximum productivity. It also uses up much less disk space, so I dont' really see a reason NOT to upgrade, unless you use some old old programs that won't run in 64-bit.

As for iLife and iWork, yes they will work, and I think iLife will come with Snow Leopard anyway.

After reading your last post, I have changed my mind. Since Snow Leopard is an UPGRADE to Leopard, I don't see any reason why they would include iLife, since Leopard should already have it. Especially at that price. I do apologise! :eek:

By having it. The $29 version does not work with any computer other than those running Leopard (or a non-Intel computer), so you'll just blow $29 on a worthless disk if you don't have it.

Yep, they don't care who buys the disk, whether you have Leopard or not - essentially they're still earning money from it.
