Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard was billed as primarily under-the-hoodchanges to OS X 10.5 Leopard, butit was much more significant than that.

Snow Leopard was announced at the June 2008 Worldwide DeveloperConference (WWDC) and released on August 28, 2009.

For the first time since Mac OS 8.5 had been released in October1998, Apple left behind an entire processor architecure. Back then, itleft behind the Motorola 680x0 CPUs in favor of PowerPC (the first PPCMacs had been introduced in March 1994). With 10.6, Apple left behindPowerPC CPUs in favor of Intel (the first Intel Macs were introduced inJanuary 2006).

Big Changes with 10.6

  • Snow Leopard is smaller than Leopard. By removing PowerPC and otherunnecessary legacy code, Apple greatly reduced the drive space neededby the operating system. It takes up about half as much space and thuswill install about twice as fast as Leopard. That said, it makes moredemands of your hardware, so a Mac that runs Leopard comfortably with 1GB of memory may feel very sluggish with Snow Leopard once you havemore than a couple apps running. We strongly recommend at least 2 GB ofmemory for 10.6.
  • Grand CentralDispatch (GCD) means that the entire operating system is designedto take advantage of multiple cores, whether on one chip or more thanone. Process threads, which were handled by apps in the past, are nowhandled by the OS with new programs designed to use GCD. GCD willassign only as many threads to an app as it currently needs, whichmakes for better use of resources.
  • Full 64-bitsupport means programs will no longer be limited to 4 GB of RAM;the new maximum (16 exabytes) is meaningless, as no computer in theforseeable future will be able to hold billions of gigabytes of memory.Both the OS and almost all 'system applications' (Finder, Safari, Mail,iChat, iCal, etc.) are ready for 64-bit operation. And Snow Leopard iscompletely backwards-compatible with 32-bit apps. First generationIntel Macs designed around Intel Core Solo and Core Duo chips do notsupport 64-bit operation; all Macs since then do.
  • OpenCL takesadvantage of powerful modern graphic processing units (GPUs, a.k.a.'video cards') for more than displaying video. All of that processingpower will also be available for general purpose computing.
  • QuickTime Xintroduced a new QuickTime player and will take full advantage of CoreAudio, Core Video, and Core Animation. It can record audio and videousing your Mac's built-in microphone and webcam, and it can trim andexport for iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, YouTube, and MobileMe so you don'tneed to worry about which codec to use. QuickTime X supports HTTP livestreaming, which can adjust quality on the fly based on availablenetwork bandwidth. Of course it takes advantage of GCD and 64-bitoperation.
  • ExchangeSupport is built right into the OS. Mail, iCal, and Address Bookwill work with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. This may explain whyMicrosoft finally brought Outlook to the Mac with Office 2010. So long,Outlook.
  • The Finder has been completely rewritten to support 64-bitoperation and take advantage of Grand Central Dispatch. This makes theFinder much more responsive.
  • For the first time, the Services menu is contextual: You will onlysee the services available to the current app. (Until now, half or moreof the Services might be grayed out because they don't work with yourcurrent program.)
  • Exposé can work in the Dock - click and hold an applicationicon and it will display that app's active documents in a grid. Appleclaims this will make it 'even easier to find what you're lookingfor.'
  • Time Machine backups are up to 50% faster, according to Apple. Thiswill be especially helpful for that first, long, full backup.
  • Macs shut down and wake up more quickly, and joining a WiFi networkis also faster. This makes for more energy efficient file sharing -your sleeping Mac uses less energy and wakes more quickly to serve upfiles.
  • If you travel with you're Mac, you'll appreciate automatic timezone settings.
  • The 'Wake on Demand' feature may keep your Mac from staying asleep.The fix is to reset the Energy Saver settings to their defaults, thenput in your own settings.

Things Lost with 10.6

  • There is no support for LocalTalk/AppleTalk in Snow Leopard. You'llneed to find another way to connect those old printers.
  • There is no longer any support for Palm OS devices in iSync. TheMissing Sync (commercial software) does support Palm devices.
  • Snow Leopard ignores creator codes when launching documents,something every Mac OS prior to 10.6 has supported - it's beenpart of the Mac OS since the beginning.
  • There is no write support for HFS+ volumes (floppies, hard drives,etc.)

Snow Leopard was replaced with OS X 10.7 Lion on July 20, 2011 afterjust 11 months at the helm.

Minimum Hardware Requirements

  • Intel-based Mac
  • 1 GB of RAM, although 2 GB is strongly recommended
  • 5 GB of available drive space
  • DVD-compatible optical drive
  • Grand Central Dispatch requires a dual-core CPU
  • 64-bit support requires a Core 2 or newer CPU
  • OpenCL is compatible with all current Macs. It is not compatiblewith:
    • iMacs released before March 2009
    • Mac mini released before March 2009
    • MacBook released before October 2008
    • MacBook Pro released before June 2007
    • Mac Pro released before January 2008 (Jan. 2008 and later modelswith unsupported video cards can used the discontinued GeForce 8800upgrade kit - Apple part no. MB137Z/A - for OpenCL support. The GeForce GT 120 retails for $149, is designed to work with the 2009Mac Pro and has been reported to work with the 2008 model as well.)
