Well, i still using alot Snow Leopard it’s very stable, for a year and a fey months that i’am having it on my old laptop, seems stable, using only safari, for internet, more or less for the usual task seems more stable and reliable than Windows, i do not use games, but, i do recommend, it did not happen even for 1 time to block and do not respond, stability it’s a key point i think.

I manage to install Snow Leopard on my laptop using chameleon bootloader package Chameleon_v1012.pkg, after many tuttorials that i’ve seen and having difficulties to boot from the laptop harddisk, so i found a trick, using this the tutorial to install from the following page How to install Snow Leopard 10A432 on a PC the guide is in italian language, after installing it because i wanna use my old partition types that were booting using MBR, i used a custom OSInstall.mpkg for MBR install, google is your friend, and at the and EasyBCD helped on adding Snow Leopard on the vista bootloader that i was using, copying the boot file from the tutorial doing a rename and putting it in the NST directory on C drive,that is used for booting OS, for Neogrub from EasyBCD, having name .efi and then at last you can enjoy Snow Leopard from your harddisk partition, so i think i have to delete the install of Snow Leopard on my external harddrive.
QuicktimeX is a perfect application used with my laptop camera i can record a movie with it, system now is using the both 2 cores that my processor has so i glad i can use it at maximum, and it’s faster, has also support for booting in 64 bit mode, well now i even like it more.
