It’s that time of the year Mac OS X upgrade again. It’s been more than two years since Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) was released. Mac OS X Tiger (10.5) is waiting in the wing, ready to pounce.
Incarnations of Leopard Developer Preview have been around for a while, but the “finish” version will finally reach the Mac masses.
I myself am getting ready for the official Mac OS X Leopard. My trusted first generation MacBook Pro Core Duo is in need for a little hardware upgrade. At this moment, it has 2GB of RAM and 100GB of Hard Drive. It is currently having its screen replaced at the Apple Store. I have ordered a new hard drive replacement, double the capacity of the current hard drive. I know that I’ll be needing all the storage space once Leopard arrives, but not for the sake of installing Leopard per se. I might need to have a Boot Camp partition, and more drive space for all the apps I’ll be using.
I ordered HITACHI Travelstar 7K200 HTS722020K9SA00
- 200GB
- 7200 RPM
- 16MB Buffer
- Serial ATA150
As soon as I get my MacBook Pro back from The Apple Store, I’ll be performing the upgrade myself. I’ve done a lot of MacBook Pro upgrade, and this would take me roughly 1 hour or less.
Can’t wait for the hard drive and Leopard. Now I’m waiting for: a call from The Apple Store for my MacBook, UPS to deliver the hard drive, and Friday October 26th for Leopard.
