Mines in transit... from ontario, and i'm all the way across the country :( Let's see how fast fed ex really is...

I can't believe so many people are getting it really soon or already got it and mine still says "not shipped" but "will ship by August 28th", and what I did was a pre-order! That's scandalous!

If yours was in Ontario yesterday, I should have received my copy like today because I'm in Quebec!

(btw, good that you still support the Canadiens even if you're not here anymore!)

just got mine delivered now i have to wait untill i get home to install it and test it out. i have read the documentation several times over (even though its only a simple folding card) so pumped to try it out.

I just rebooted in 64-bit mode (thinking it would do it automatically) and things are running much quicker. I'll keep testing. Here is the command to make sure it always boots in 64-bit mode (warning: check the compatible Mac list to make sure your chipset supports 64-bit):

To select the 64-bit kernel for the current startup disk, use the following command in Terminal:

sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64

Good luck!

*Few software incompatibilities but nothing too bad yet.

Is your hard drive quite full? It may be Spotlight re-indexing, or your cache re-loading, or something.

I have a 500GB hard drive and only the space for the OS, iLife and iWork are installed on the drive. I have a Windows Home Server for my files.

That doesn't account for a 2GB difference. I'm looking at the space USED, which by that math should only be about 220MB difference.

picked up mine last night at 0004 in Dubai (9pm GMT time) and the install took just about 40 mins and seems to be a lot zippier from the get go. Hard to really tell as im on an old white macbook with 2gb of memory but definatly has a better feel. Nothing results wise to back it up but as far as being smoother, I like it.

Xslimmer is available for Snow Leopard now saving me even more space on the installed programs. Tis amazing what it strips out and then it shows you if its 64 bit or 32 bit.

Now we just to wait for x64 apps to hit us

I suspect probably not. Is there a command I can use to find out? I ran a command I found here yesterday and it stated, "EMT64" so I should be good there.

You can find out if you are running in 64-bit mode by going to System Profiler (type it into spotlight) > Software section and then look for:

64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No

Show me a screenshot of the Info panel of your root hard drive. How many bytes does it say are used?

My 10.6 volume shows 65,668,640,768 bytes used. This would translate to 61.15 "gigabytes" (really gibibytes) if I was in 10.5. In 10.6, that same number of bytes shows up at 65.68 gigabytes.

Yes I know that, but no matter how you do the math 8GB at 1000 doesn't translate to 6GB at 1024, 8gb turns into 7.8GB roughly.

Still MORE than Leopard. I don't get where they say "save 6GB" from when I lost 1.8GB.

7.45GB (8000000000/1024/1024/1024), but yeah did you install extra printer drivers?

You can find out if you are running in 64-bit mode by going to System Profiler (type it into spotlight) > Software section and then look for:

Should it be "Yes" or "No"? I ran the command and it said it worked, but mine still says No after I restarted.

    • 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.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • 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.
