I call fake on that. There has been numerous claims that 10a435 was the final build as well. Nothing but fakes

The Version that Ships with the MacMini will be a specific build for the Mini. I guess there will be a different build number for each model.

Look here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159 There are loads of different build numvers for the same os version.

You are correct there, and I have heard that 10a435 is actually going to be 10.6.1

I have ran Windows 7 64 bit under BootCamp from the first build made available to developers after WWDC and never had a problem with it. The 3.0 drivers work very well.

That's good to know.

Must be something I did wrong on my end. Thanks. ;)

That, IMO, would be VERY surprising.

They're not at 10.6.1 yet, they might have just started shipping 10.6 and they have no idea how many builds it will take until it becomes a 10.6.1

Yeah. I'd be very surprised if they managed to get to a minor release in so few builds.

Why? As it happened before. From what I recall there were rumors about the Leopard GM not being the GM and that a newer build leaked. As it turned out the newer build was actually the first beta of the v10.5.1 update.

same, and i remember my MBP had the big 64Bit thing plasterd all over it, but still have the 32bit memory limitation and 32 bit EFI. got it from Apple direct. because of that and refusing to fix my iPod touch w/applecare that dies in 30 min. refusing to buy another apple branded thing again.

feels like Obi-Wan and Yoda concerning Truth from certain points of view

i am still kinda peeved at the fact my macbook won't run the OS in 64 bit mode even though i have 64 bit CPU...
Yea, that's what I was thinking. And I did check: Finder does have the option just like all the other 64-bit apps in Snow Leopard. We'll just have to see if it helps .Neo any.

Can't get the Finder to start in 32-bit mode even when ticking the checkbox. According to Activity Monitor the Finder still runs in 64-bit mode. :/

Could it be incompatible with 64bit Safari/FF? You should be able to change the preferences from what I understand (Haven't touched Snow Leopard yet), to start Safari in 32bit mode.

Also, can try to see if this is the case and boot into 32-bit mode to see if it works using the tool found here. It says for 10.5/10.6 but surely 10.6 at this point. :)

Even if you kill it and restart it?

Even if you reboot?

Yeah, maybe it can be a beta of 10.6.1, but it cannot be 10.6.1, it would be just 3 builds away from the official release and it'd be released like ... before the official product ships. I would accept that a security fix is out before the product is out, but a 10.6.x version, never.

Spanish site Applesfera reports [Google translation] that a Tumblr/Twitter user by the name of pedro10 has received a retail copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard in advance of Friday's official launch.

After installing Snow Leopard, pedro10 reports that the retail disc does in fact contain Build 10A432, which had been rumored to be the "Golden Master" version sent to manufacturing for retail distribution. Some unconfirmed reports in recent days had suggested that a different build might have been the shipping version of Snow Leopard, but this appears to not be the case.

that doesn't mean that there couldn't be an update waiting for release day and they just used 10a432 for GM as to make sure they didn't miss the release date

Incase anyone would like some help with 64bit or 32bit modes here is a neat free little app i found

There will be some updates, but I don't think a "build update" would be one of them. Any time the OS gets a build update, it always comes with a 10.6.1 or whatever update, which probably shouldn't happen on the first day.

If I remember correctly, Leopard was updated to 10.5.1 within a few weeks of release. Any bugs discovered over the past month while 432 has been floating around, will most likely be addressed in a 10.6.1 upgrade before Thanksgiving.

Also, I suspect Apple made a decision to not enable the 64bit kernel for a reason and will make that change in a 10.6.x release in the near future. While many will argue back and forth about releasing this early (just look at the past 80 pages), they did it for a reason. :p

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_v10.5#Version_history

  • 10.5.0 9A581 26 October 2007
  • 10.5.1 9B18 15 November 2007

So about 3 weeks, hopefully its quicker than that :p

The 64-bit kernel isn't buggy. If it was, it wouldn't be default on Xserves. That'd be a very bad idea.

No, the reason is that the 64-bit kernel can't load 32-bit kernel extensions, which a few third party vendors use (mouse drivers, webcams, etc). They'll wait quite a while before flipping the switch (if they ever do).

Right, all I was getting at was, Apple did it for a reason, not as an oversight. They will switch all the kernels to 64 when they feel it will be beneficial to the avg. user.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
