Product Description:

Snow Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and success with hundreds of refinements, new core technologies and out of the box support for Microsoft Exchange. To create Snow Leopard, Apple engineers refined 90 percent of the more than 1,000 projects that make up Mac OS X. Users will notice refinements including a more responsive Finder; Mail that loads messages up to twice as fast;* Time Machine with an up to 80 percent faster initial backup;* a Dock with Expos integration; QuickTime X with a redesigned player that allows users to easily view, record, trim and share video; and a 64-bit version of Safari 4 that is up to 50 percent** faster and resistant to crashes caused by plug-ins. Snow Leopard is half the size of the previous version and frees up to 7GB of drive space once installed.

I've just installed this on a Macbook Pro, an iMac 24" and a Mac Pro (all Intel) and none of them are having any problems what so ever. I haven't seen any slowdown on my internet connection either, instead it has increased and feels much snappier!

Coincidence? Since upgrading (combo, safe booted, permissions repaired before and after, iTunes updated as well), everything Internet-related has slowed to a crawl. FWIW, the updates went without a hitch, including--as it turns out--the time it took to post this. Same situation on Firefox.

I play a game called RuneScape, which is an online game that uses Java, and I downloaded this update yesterday, and when I try to play RuneScape, the computer freezes and then some black lines appear on my display and it starts blinking, and then the computer won't respond, So I had to turn it off with the power button, but everything else is fine for me, and working well.... I hope someone can check it for me and I can have a solution please... My e-mail is kuri_fut94@hotmail.com. Thanks and I hope someone can answer me...
