[QUOTE="MightyGem, post: 1256675, member: 180699"] 1. Yes, for most things, although they may not be the lastest depending how long you've had OSX installed and how new your device is. Snow Leopard will show the latest printer drivers for any printers that you have connected, in Software Update. 2. Snow Leopard is 64 bit, but some Applications are still 32 bit. 3. Macs have EFI, not BIOS: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface]Unified Extensible Firmware Interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] 4. If you install Windows, then it should have it's own drivers. Your devices should use the Windows drivers if you are in Windows, and the Apple drivers if you are in OSX(I think, ;) ) [/QUOTE]
