Is Tiger 10.4.10  64 bit?

I just upgraded from 4gb to 8gb of RAM and dont notice much difference. A friend told me it may be b/c Tiger is only 32 bit. Did I just waste my money?

Tiger supports 32-bit & 64-bit. Depends on whether your processor is 64-bit and the application you are using.
Since you said you increased RAM to 8GB, I assume you have a G5 model like this one or later.

  • Tiger Woods PGA 2003 - 1 bit display?

    Hello,
    I hust purchased Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 CD. Installed it but whenI try to play I get an error message something like: Need to adjust properties:to high colour 16 bit display adapter
    I have tried adjusting the monitor to: thousands and millions - still get the same message. I have searched the aspyr support and nothing relates to this error message.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    "I will have to keep it on hand until I upgrade to OSX."
    Just wanted to say that even upgrading the iMac to OSX won't help in this case. You need at least 32MB of VRAM or a Mac with an upgradable video card. The all-in-ones (iMacs, iBooks, laptops, etc.) don't have upgradable video cards.
    None of my iMac G3's have that much VRAM. In fact, my 2.5 year old iBook G4 has only 32MB of VRAM, which is not that much by today's standards. In fact, now that I've attached an external monitor and am spanning the image between the two, each monitor is only allocated 16MB of VRAM. So, I couldn't even play Tiger Woods PGA 2003 on this G4 Mac, unless I disconnected the external monitor.
    It's practically impossible to keep up with video games unless you can afford a new computer every year. How many people know how much VRAM they have, or how to find out where that information is located? Most people don't even know how much RAM they have, or how large their hard drives are.
    Probably much less expensive to buy a GameBoy...

  • Is Tiger, 64 bit?

    so i'm curious...
    i'm not sure if this is even the right place for this topic, but i wasn't really sure where to put it...
    also sorry if this has been talked about to death, but i kept trying to find info about it and not seeing anything...
    is OSX Tiger [10.4.8] 64 bit?
    i just bought a Macbook Pro [Core2Duo 2.33] and i was wondering, b/c if is not 64 bit, when Leopard comes out, will i be able to run it to it's full 64 bit potenial on my MBP?
    are these Intel Chips able to utilize Leopards full ability?
    anyone know where i can find info on this?
    any help is greatly appreciated...

    Tiger is not fully 64-bit. Much of it is but there
    are parts that are not. More information can be found
    here: http://developer.apple.com/macosx/64bit.html.
    wow, this is a very interesting article!!!
    i was kind of lost when i read some of this, but i think it's more b/c i'm not a programmer...
    so OK, according to that article [please someone chime in and correct anything i'm about to say], if you actually use Tiger on any older Mac [i.e. G3, G4 & G5 processors], you can have the ability to run 64-bit software?
    according to the article, even within the programming, the OS will be smart enough to see what the processor is able to read [32-bit or 64-bit]?
    so basically the idea of 64-bit computing began a long time ago [as far as hardware is concerned] and only now is the software [OS] is finally catching up?
    dunno if i'm getting this right, but that's pretty wild...
    definetly gives me hope that my G5 desktop will still be usable for years to come and that both my G5 & my MBP will have the abilitty to run 64-bit software...
    i still need to read those other articles at the bottom of the page...

  • Tiger Woods Wins at Congressional

    Well, it looks like Tiger Woods has regained a bit of his old form. By winning at Congressional in the AT&T, he has now surpassed Jack Nicklaus on the PGA Wins list, w/ 74, and is now in second place behind Sam Snead w/ 82.
    He is also number 1 in Fed-X Cup points, passing Jason Dufner.
    While I am far less a fan of Woods, than I was just a few years back, due to activities off the course, I have to say that he is certainly one of the best, who has ever played the game.
    I made a comment, not THAT long ago, that he would not win another "major," and he almost made me eat my words, at the US Open. If I was incorrect about that prediction, then so be it. I do not think that he can touch Nicklaus' record of majors' wins, 18, but might even be wrong about that too. At 14, and with maybe another 24 majors ahead of him, I suppose that it is possible.
    Maybe The Open Championship (British Open) will be a test of my prediction? Royal Lytham & St. Annes could be a worthy test for Woods, and depending on the weather, could close out 2012 with no "majors" for him.
    He IS making a comeback, but I wish that he was not "coming back," from what he is.

    PS - not sure what the deal is, but this is the third time, that I have tried to post this. No errors, no warnings, just an offer to take me to the forum, that I tried to post to, or the main forum page. Odd. If it gets posted multiple times, I'll see that others are deleted.

    OK, in that cited case, only the first nine holes are used to start the tournament. One foursome on 1, one on 2, etc. The open play golfers are scheduled, so that all should have cleared hole #9, before the start of play. Then, at say 1:00PM, each foursome on 1 - 9 tees off. The foursome on #1 will end, with #18, where the foursome on #2 will play #18, and then #1. The foursome on #3 will play through #18, and then holes #1 and #2.
    Starting multiple foursomes on different holes, at the same time, is called a "shotgun start," as at private clubs, without homes along the course, a shotgun was fired, at the appointed time. Then, they went to air horns (like the one that the course provides you with... ), as the fowl on the course were eating the shotgun pellets.
    Though there are variations, and often confused, and confusing names, a "scrambles" is where all four players hit from the tee. The foursome then decides whose tee shot, they will use, and play out the hole, repeating the process, until the putt is holed. Say we decide that my drive is the one to use, then we all go to that spot, and hit from that area (usually within a club's length, and usually from a similar lie*), but after our second shots, we decide that yours was the best, we gather up around your second shot, to hit our third, and the process is repeated, until one of our foursome hits to the green. We all putt, and if someone holes out - hole complete, and we use the cumulative score for our hole, though we chose the best shot, for each shot. If no one sinks the putt, then the one closest to the hole, or perhaps with a better line, is marked, and everyone putts from there.
    As mentioned, there are variations to a "scrambles." For years, one tournament started out, like above, with the best tee shot chosen, but then, each golfer in the foursome was on their own, and had to complete the hole. Two scores were assigned - overall score for the entire foursome (best score out of the group), but then another, individual score. That variation takes a bit longer, as each golfer completes the hole.
    There are also often stipulations, for the use of tee shots. In the Lou Grubb, each player in a foursome MUST have 4 tee shots used during the 18. That means that if we are playing our last hole, and I have only had 3 tee shots used to that point, we MUST use my tee shot, even if it ends up behind the giant green frog. There is a bit of psychology, that can go into choosing whose tee shot to use. If player A has few tee shots used, to that point, the foursome might decide to use a shorter tee shot from them, to insure that everyone has used 4 tee shots in the 18. This really comes into play with mixed foursomes, with the ladies. We might sacrifice some yardage, to make sure that all of the ladies do get their 4 tee shots in. However, some courses really give a benefit to the ladies, who are most often playing from forward tees, so then it can be the reverse, where the ladies are nailing drives from forward tees, and the guys need to get their 4 tee shots in.
    There can be other psycology employed, as if my tee shot is longer, but puts me in such a place, as I have say "tree trouble," we could choose to use another player's tee shot, that might be shorter, i.e. farther to the hole, but is in a better position. Still, with a "one club in the same lie rule," it could be that within one club length, we might have a better shot, around that problem tree?
    Some scrambles have no minimum required number of tee shots, so if you have one long, straight hitter on your team, you may legally use EVERY one of their tee shots, if they are better.
    You might hear terms like "best ball," used for a scrambles tournament format, but that term has an official meaning, that is different. You will see real Best Ball in the Ryder and President's Cup matches. True Best Ball is usually a team of two golfers in a foursome made up of two teams, and there are a few specific aspects, that would likely not come into the mix, unless maybe one is playing club vs club golf, where each foursome has two players from club A, and two from club B.
    For most tournament, each cart will get a complete set of the "rules" for that tournament.
    Hope that helps,
    Hunt
    * That "similar lie" aspect means that if I hit my tee shot into the first cut of the rough, and we decide to play my shot, we may NOT play any shots from the fairway, even if it's within one club length. All four shots MUST be played from the first cut of the rough, but can be placed (no "drop" required) within one club length, in the same first cut.
    PS - you might hear it said that with a "scrambles," no one ever has to play out of a bunker. Well, in general, that is often true, but in two tournaments, we had to play out of a bunker, as the other three shots were so bad! Should not happen, but it does.

  • Unable to Boot from Mac OS Tiger Server 10.4.0 Install CD

    Hi,
    I just picked up a Powermac G3 and am trying to install Tiger Server 10.4.0 from the install CD. The G3 won't boot from the CD (holding the c key at startup) and when I try to install from Open Firmware (using boot cd), I get the following message:
    MAC PARTS: Load (noninterposed) not supported load-size0=adler32=1.
    I'm assuming the above is bad news!
    Other than booting, the CD appears to work fine. Also, the firmware is all up to date. The current version of OS on the G3 is 9.2.2 but unfortunately, I do not have any install disks for this (hence why I want to try and upgrade and install my legitimate server OS on it).
    Other than that, all I can say is that it is a 300Mhz G3 Blue and White with what appears to be a 10gb hard drive. Other info from System Profiler is:
    Ram: 256mb
    Machine ID: 406
    Mac OS Rom 9.2.1
    I assume that Tiger would be a little bit choosy about some of the older hardware, but nevertheless would be grateful for any assistance as to whether this can be installed on this Powermac.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Did some research and it appears that puting Tiger server on a B&W is a lot more difficult than puting Tiger (workstation?) on a B&W. (i.e. You're not the only one with this problem.) The offered solutions have been to take your hard drive out and install server on it from another machine - which you can't do with the machines you have... unless you swap the drive out of your iMac.... but that's up to you. I wouldn't risk it.
    The other option is to spring for a DVD drive that will work in your B&W and boot from the DVD and install that way. You can pick them up for about $50. (I know that's about what your B&W is worth, but that's life...) If you go this route, make sure you get a DVD that Apple has written the drivers for (Pioneer, NEC, etc. ) and built into the OS installer. My personal drive is an NEC ND-3540A. Picked it up at NewEgg.com. That's what I had to do to get Tiger on mine.

  • IntelMac (newest Tiger) not connecting after installing WinXP and switching

    Hi Everyone. I tried searching the discussions for this, but I couldn't find a suitable answer (or anyone else having this problem). Here's the issue (and my temporary solution, but really really annoying):
    I recently installed winXP on my intelMac core duo running Tiger.8. After a bit of trouble I figured out how to connect my Windows to my Airport Express (hassle). Anyway, everytime I'd switch back to Tiger, I don't connect to my network. It's a closed network, and when it starts up, Airport connects to the network (shows all 5 bars) but I cannot get online. My temporary resolution is to turn airport off then back on, and it finds (and connects) to my network so I can surf the 'net.
    The question is... is there a way that I can get around this temporary solution? (It's a bit annoying as my sister who is anti-computers has to use the 'net and gets frustrated when it's not connected.)
    ....Yes I realize I can just tell her how to get around the issue, but >_>..... Or if there is a way I can create a script to run at startup that will turn airport off and then on, after startup, then that would be great too....
    If there is someone that can help me out, that'd be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.
    iMac Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz 1.5 GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   WinXP installed and can connect to airport express

    I just recently installed it (maybe 3-4 wks ago?).... It's BootCamp 1.1.2, assuming newest drivers for the computer.
    Yes I've noticed about the date-time thing being offset by the amount of hours I'm on the XP -- almost always 5h, too, for some reason.
    I read in another post that XP might be stealing my IP address which is why I have to restart the Airport card (so I can get it back). But there's no viable solution. Happen to know any for the window's side? I'll have to ask my windows buddy this too.
    In the meantime....
    Do you think that there are scripts out there (or is it possible to make a script) that will automatically run when the computer restarts... and have it turn the airport card on/off? ...As well as go to date and time? I'm not very familiar with Scripting, and Automator Robot is bloody confusing....
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks.
    PS - Have you tried Parallels, if you switch back n forth so often? Aside from the drivers not existing, it's great for using regular applications. I tried to use it but, honestly, the games wouldn't load because of lack of drivers for video card (and lack of "finding" the video card to get a driver for it lol)

  • Is My MacBook Pro 64-Bit?

    I'm thinking of upgrading to Leopard and I if I remember correctly, and from what I've read, Leopard is a 64-bit Operating system. And Tiger was a 32/64-bit hybrid.
    Anyway my system specs are:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro 17"
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,2
    Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP12.0061.B03
    SMC Version: 1.5f10
    Serial Number: W863819GTJ1
    Sudden Motion Sensor:
    State: Enabled
    Is it 64-bit or 32-bit?
    -Thanks

    does it matter? you can not stuff more than 3GB RAM into a MacBook Pro so running 64bit is not useful. As far as I know the kernel is still 32bit style with some extension but all the API's are now 32 + 64 bit. The real power of 64bit comes in when you have lots and lots of memory (>4GB) to be used for ONE SINGLE application.
    You can run this on a MacBook Pro but the benefit is questionable.
    I just tried on my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo:
    bash-3.2$ cc -arch x86_64 test.c
    bash-3.2$ file a.out
    a.out: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
    bash-3.2$ ./a.out
    hello world
    bash-3.2$
    so it seems to work on mine.

  • Power Book Gr 10.2.8, have bought Tiger, how can I install Tiger?

    Having read many other topics I am checking in for clarity
    To download Tiger successfully (I have enough space etc etc)
    I must first install 10.3. - How do I do that?
    Then I must install the next in line etc etc???
    Please shed some light!!!

    georgie:
    It will be helpful if I had a bit more information about your computer system, so I will ask questions.
    You have a PowerBook G4, is that correct?
    Which PB G4 do you have? Processor speed?
    You have sufficient HD space. What is the total capacity of your HDD and how much available space do you have?
    You have enough RAM. How much?
    You have bought Tiger install disk. Is it the full Retail Version for a Power PC mac?
    Here are the minimum system requirements for Tiger. I suggest a bit more RAM than the minimum.
    I must first install 10.3. - How do I do that?
    No, you don't need to install Panther (10.3x) if you have a Full Retail Version of Tiger. The only time you will need Panther on your HDD to install is if you have an update disk. However, Computer specific or upgrade versions should be avoided since they are optimized for the computer to which they are specific and will therefore, very likely, cause problems during or after installation. On the legal side, it may be a violation of the Software License Agreement which statesThis License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time...
    Please post back with information requested, then we can proceed with directions for installation.

  • 64 or 32 bits

    i am at a loss at to what bit "32 or 64" this G4 iBook is, i have gone into iBook G4 specifications i did not see reference for bits.
    Could some one please let me know where i can drill down the information to obtain the bit information for this G4 iBook, the info under the keyboard shows- 12" 1.2 GHZ/256/30G/Combo/APX
    and the cereal, yes Wheaties ? anyway 4H51719FRCQ
    I have kept this G4 even though i have a MacBook , i am using the G4 as an experiment in the frontiers of Geekdom, and at this time am installing SQL and PHP and the humans over at Sun have an option of 32 or 64 bit for a SQL download. and yes i have maxed out the ram on this puppy.
    Thank you.

    I have yet to find where i can edit a post that i create so i will go this route.
    i did some more research and found:
    http://developer.apple.com/MacOsX/64bit.html
    and i interpret this article as ambiguous in many paragraphs................
    title in bold text like Tiger's 64-bit Support
    The focus of Tiger's 64-bit support is to enable C and C++ applications that are most likely to benefit immediately from a larger address space. These include scientific data processing applications, rendering engines, and high load servers. These applications have naturally large data sets. Typically, these applications are faceless—meaning that they don't have a GUI—and are executed from the command line.
    To meet this focus, Tiger ships with a 64-bit version of libsystem—the system library implementing most of the fundamental UNIX APIs. In addition, Tiger comes with a 64-bit PowerPC ABI, based on the 32-bit ABI. 64-bit binaries are contained in an updated Mach-O format that can run on G5 systems with Tiger or later installed.
    It is important to note that in Tiger, the support for 64-bit programming does not extend throughout the entire set of APIs available on Mac OS X. Most notably, the Cocoa and Carbon GUI application frameworks are not ready for 64-bit programming. In practical terms, this means that the "heavy lifting" of an application that needs 64-bit support can be done by a background process which communicates with a front-end 32-bit GUI process via a variety of mechanisms including IPC and shared memory.

  • Is disk utilities Tiger 10.4.2 ok to repair Tiger 10.4.4 ?

    2. From where came the illegal name, from my TechTool installation ??
    many thanks for help!
    I had no technical problem with my HD but now I have it with this three error messages
    corinne

    Hello Corinne:
    FYI, some earlier versions of Techtool (including some distributed with a new system) do not work well (or at all) with Tiger. Here is a bit more information:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61794
    You should have no problem repairing disk from your 10.4 software install DVD. If the disk repair is unable to 'fix' problems, your next step would be to consider acquiring DiskWarrior. DW is pricey at about $90, but it is the 'gold standard' of directory/disk repair utilities.
    Let us know how you are doing.

  • IPod does not respond at all when plugged in

    Alright, this topic is for people who have had this exact problem only. I don't want to get this confused with other problems and have people trying to help troubleshoot multiple problems and get things mixed up. Here's the problem.
    After updating to v1.1.2 of the iPod software, the iPod does not respond when plugged in. The iPod still works fine when not plugged in. It plays music and both the standard and shuffle play modes work accordingly. The problem is when you plug the iPod in, it doesn't charge and it doesn't mount. The orange blinking light does not come on. While plugged in, it works the same way as it does when you're listening to music with it. It's as if the iPod's USB connector is dead. Here is my original post and description of the problem.
    Alright, so here's my story. I bought my 512MB Shuffle in April. It has worked perfectly fine since I got it. Last night, I updated to v1.1.2 of the iPod software, clicked no when it asked if I wanted to restart, added some songs to the iPod, then restarted. As of this morning, I went to listen to some music while out for a bike ride, and I was greeted with the red battery light. I thought it was a bit odd since I had left it plugged in overnight. I figured, what the heck, I'll just plug it in and let it charge when I get back. When I got back, I plugged it into my PC and left for a while. I came back later and went to grab my Shuffle and I noticed it was cold, which was unusual after charging for a couple hours. I plugged it back in, a bit frustrated, and it never came up in Windows. I looked at the iPod plugged into the back of my PC (a high powered USB port) and sure enough, no orange light. No lights at all. I can still slide the switch to one of the play modes (standard play or shuffle) and play music for a couple seconds before it stops and says the battery's dead again. It works.. I mean it turns on and plays music, it's just not charging or mounting when I plug it in. I tried multiple computers and USB ports, none of which worked. I would really like some help with this considering it IS my only source of portable music and I'm not going to go pay $50 to talk to tech support or have it sent in for repairs. That's half of what it's worth.
    I've tried uninstalling all iTunes/iPod related software from the PC I normally use it on and reinstalling it. That didn't work. I also tried uninstalling again and installing the last known working version of the iPod software, still no results. The only thing I havn't tried is giving it a good beating... Not that I would. Anyways, I hope there's a solution to this that doesn't involve buying a new one.
    Here's a rundown of the computers I tested it with.
    500MHZ G4 Cube (384MB RAM/Mac OSX Tiger)
    400MHZ G3 iMac (384MB RAM/Mac OSX Tiger)
    4.2GHZ AMD 64-Bit running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (my PC)
    515MHZ Dell running Windows 2000 (256MB RAM)
    UPDATE: The BIOS won't recognize the iPod, so it has nothing to do with my computer. Somehow, installing v1.1.2 of the iPod software made it so the iPod itself has USB problems. The iPod works to the extent of playing music and showing the battery charge level. I get no response at all when I plug it in, from the computer or the iPod.
    I'm going to have to agree with Philip Harhay on this one. The original 10GB iPod I bought 3 years ago came with a full one-year warranty, no extra charges. I am disappointed to see the Shuffle only coming with a three-month warranty.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Help! I just purchase an iPod Shuffle for my son's birthday and I cannot get the darn thing to show up on my iMac G5. I am running OS 10.4.2 and I have downloaded the latest iPod and iTunes software. When I try to restore my iPod to the factory settings it tells me to plug the iPod into the computer, but it is plugged in. I have tried different USB ports, too. I'm running out of ideas and so is the trouble shooting Apple site. I was hoping someone out there might have some ideas.
    It showed up at first and I transferred a few songs from the iTunes to the iPod but I couldn't get them to play, so I plugged it back into the USB and the icon never came up.

  • 10.3.9  to 10.5    (should I?)

    Well,
    I've keeped 10.3 that came with my iMac G5 (I'm at 10.3.9 right now). Why did I not go to 10.4? Because, everything works so well for me in 10.3. I do professional music production with Logic.
    Now that there is the new version of Logic (Logic Studio) at a super low price that I can't pass up. But I'm really nervous about having my iMac (1.8 GHZ power PC / 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM) run OS X 10.5.
    This is in spite of the 10.5 system requirements saying that my machine should be fine.
    I thought I would check in with everyone on this forum to see what some of the installation / upgrading problems have been?
    I wonder, does Apple still sell 10.4? I'm pretty sure that runs just fine on my machine.
    Any thoughts?
    Morris

    You can certainly still buy Tiger, the disc may be bit hard to find, but google or call around and you should be able to find it. Both Tiger and Leopard will run perfectly well on your machine, Tiger is a fully developed OS and almost all the bugs have been fixed, Leopard is more of a work in progress, it still has some problems for some people, if you want to be absolutely stable, I would suggest you get 10.4, Tiger.

  • Performance degradation on my mac

    Hello,
    Based on some input in the discussion forums, I upgraded my 1.33 ghz ibook to 1.5GB of RAM and ensured that I have 10 GB free space (1/2 the hdd capacity). But I still find that when an application is trying to access something from the network (like html page or mail from imap server), the application gets stalled and I cannot switch to other apps.
    How does one ensure good response time despite a slow internet connection? [The connection may not be slow, but just that the problem shows up when trying to fetch data]. Also, is there any virus which could have affected performance?
    I suspect that downloading and adding security/system updates did make a difference to my mac's performance. Is there any data to rule out such a possibility?
    thanks

    Two things...
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.
    Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.

    DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.251.200.70 behind the scenes.

  • New hard drive, Leopard upgrade, restore disks needed?

    Hi
    I have a macbook which shipped with Tiger and ilife 06.
    Several months ago I upgraded to Leopard and ilife 08 - both great.
    Now I want to upgrade my hard drive to a bigger one, so I just need a bit of advice please.
    There is plenty of advice here and on the apple support site about how to upgrade your hard drive, but not when you have upgraded the OS.
    The simplest way would be to use CCC to clone it, but I want a clean install. I hope that I don't have to use the restore disks, then upgrade both OSX and ilife - that would be painful!
    Anyway, here goes.
    I have a SATA enclosure.
    What is the best way to proceed? Do I need either of the restore disks that came with the macbook, or do I just need the new Leopard and ilife (retail) upgrade disks?
    I am happy with taking the old drive out (after doing a last time machine backup - just in case!) and putting it into the external enclosure and putting the new drive in the macbook.
    Then, what is the best way to restore my data? Time machine? Migration assistant? Dragging and dropping everything? (what about preferences & settings?)
    Thanks for all your help.

    Thanks - do I need the old restore disks that came with the mac at all, or are they just Tiger, ilife 06 and a bit of free software, therefore not needed. I am a little concerned that they contain some drivers etc that i might need.
    I have retail disks of Leopard and ilife 08, bought separately.
    Thanks

  • G4 and Leopard

    Now, according to Apple, 10.5 with be totally 64-bit, which, I suspect will be a problem with G4 users as this PPC processor is a 32-bit processor (and not 64-bit).
    I was wondering what Apple will be doing about this ? With G4 users just have to 'make do' with just a 32-bit version or with 64-bit be emulated in some way ?
    Or am I wrong in assuming the G4 isn't a 64-bit processor ?

    As I understand it the Unix under-pinnings of OS X were 64-bit in Tiger. 64-bit applications could be used, but only from the command line/terminal application/Unix shell. With Leopard 64-bit support has simply been extended upwards to include certain development frameworks such as Cocoa, allowing 64-bit applications to be used from the Mac GUI with the usual Mac OS look and feel.
    As a G4 user I don't think anything will change between Tiger and Leopard. 64-bit support will now be included from top to bottom, but not at the expense of 32-bit support. In a sense we have to 'make do' anyway due to the hardware limitations. For example, one of the advantages of a 64-bit processor and OS is that more memory can be addressed. However, the G4s have a maximum of 4 DIMM slots with 512MB per DIMM, so we're limited to 2GB of memory at the hardware level anyway even if the OS does support more. IMHO, unless you're using specialised applications or need to be able to address huge amounts of memory (for example if you're working with huge image files), 32-bit is fine. If this isn't the case, you should probably be using a G5 or Mac Pro anyway.
