Ok, I have Leopard installed on my Mac Pro.
Quick and simple to do, and seems to operate just fine! However, my main application, Hauptwerk won't release a "Leopard" compatible version until later in November. But, I still have the previous OS, Tiger, installed and operating just fine on a separate HD, along with Hauptwerk. Only constraint is that no more than 4GB of data can be used in HW, Tiger is 32-bit. Thus the desire (need) for going to Leopard and the full 64-bit RAM use. Several of the larger pipe organ pipe sample sets use much RAM, up to 8 and even 10 GB (thus why I had been using XP-64 in my previous AMD powered PC). The author of Hauptwerk is now "urging" the use of the Mac because of the wonderful MIDI handling of that system. I have Leopard installed to a separate HD in the Pro. But, when HW is made available for OS X 10.5, there will be no special reason to maintain Tiger on the separate HD, and Leopard could also be installed on that drive. But should I? Or what else can I do with a second internal HD? (I do have an external HD which is the "Time Machine's" houly/daily/etc., so that takes care of the need for file, system back ups). Cannot go to some kind of RAID set up, UNLESS I erase both internal HDs completely; don't really want to loose all that programing I have done for particular organ sound systems -- took hours! Thanks for comments, Jim |
