Hi, Yes a Clean install does start things fresh but you will have the issues of re-inputting all serial numbers, pass-coes and such. Depending on the number of apps and such that you have on your Mac, this may or may not be a factor. If your SL system is running fine though, I would say that

Well, having done both upgrading and a clean install, I can say without reservation of any kind whatsoever, but a clean install is the best way to go. If you do this, you'll get the nice snappy performance that you originally had from your Mac. Just be sure to backup all your stuff before you

I'd advise a clean install, only because once your system is up and running you will know that you are running a clean system from afresh: I personally like clean rather than over the top because if anything is not working right afterwards you can't say it wasn't because you installed over the

Some may disagree with me on this, but it's my opinion that any time you install a new release of an operating system, whether the mac, windows, or anything else, it's always best to do a clean install. Not only does this give your system a fresh start, but it also clears out any left over

I've done only upgrades since Panther on my 4 year old iMac G5. Upgrades work fine in most cases. Just as any time you do brain surgery on your OS, have a backup. Also disconnect any external drives. You don't have to, but it's a best practice. I'll do an update on my Macbook, but a clean

You could do an upgrade and that wouldn't be an issue for you as much as perhaps others. You haven't loaded lots of stuff and so forth yet. So, go ahead and do the upgrade, it should not pose any problems for you. On Aug 27, 2009, at 10:17 AM, a radix wrote: Hello, i am ordering sl via

I generally do the upgrade. Unless you're having problems with the current system you should be fine doing the upgrade. On the Mac, user files are kept in one place so changing out the system has less chance of stepping on something. CB a radix wrote: Hello, i am ordering sl via the phone
