Is yours a MB Pro? Anyway, yes, startup is definitely much better, and because 10.6 is all Intel, it shaved off about 6-7 gigs, I believe, which was nice. I have Logic installed with no loops no sound effects (basically, the garageband content as well as the jam pack instruments) and I have 47GB left. Did we buy our Macbooks at the same time?

So much "ehn"ing going on, that people don't really talk about the speed boost. DO you find it quicker? I'm thinking about going and picking up a new internal hard disk and installing 10.6. My macbook is 80gigs, and I'm pretty sick that my iTunes and Logic libraries are external. (And when I add in the 50gigs of Ableton Live... hmmm... i'd love to get away from the tether of my external.) So... fast! Good to hear. Breathe some life into this not so old, but definitely not new (3 yr old) Macbook. I’ve heard a lot of buzz, (mostly “ehn”) about 10.6.
