sweet!!!

Mine copy came today also!

that is a nice touch with the tiger in the background

congrats man!

Do bench tests please before and after you installed, I'm curious.

I get mine tomorrow.

Can't wait.

its too late

I already installed it. darn it

I'm drooling over here~! how about some images on the desktop whats it open like? appearance wise?

yes bench test it someone, im curious

I'm getting ready to install it on my iMac (G4 1.25GHz) and my PowerBook (1.5GHz). What would I use to capture a benchmark test, something similar to 3dMark for PC?

pardon the dumb question, but what is a bench test?

ahhhhhh my copy hasn't come yet apple said it would come tommrow but the fedex site said monday

well my ipod was suppost to come 4 days after shipping started, the next day the ipod came i hope its here when i get back from school tommrow

Xbench was developed to provide a comprehensive benchmarking solution for Mac OS X. Xbench is useful not only for comparing the relative speeds of two different Macintoshes, but also for optimizing performance on a single machine. Xbench is accompanied by a website that allows graphical side-by-side comparison of any out of thousands of submitted benchmarks.

Xbench will become an invaluable part of your utilities toolkit.

And it is a shareware.

Here is my Xbench results with Panther 10.3.9 (before Tiger install):

After Tiger install:

I'll runa bench test on my iMac tonight before the install, and another tomorrow evening after the install and post the results.

Okay, just ran xbench on my iMac with Panther (specs are in my info). My total score was 155.42 with the CPU at 170.11 which I was happy with (and strangely enough higher than the Powermac above me ^ though my total score was lower.) My detailed stats can be found at:

I'll post again tomorrow night with my post Tiger results.
