Here's all my current software



iWork 08

MS office 2004

xTorrent

Adobe CS3 premium suite

Visual Hub



Let me know if i can just go from current - to - upgrade rather than ground zero... Also, anyone seeing performance issues/gains on the CS3 suite?

    Yes I did an upgrade today, it just updates the OS and the application on the Dock, other than that everything else is the same! Just out of curiousity, what hardware are you running?

    Yeah i don't see a reason why you can't. When you get to the screen where you select what hard drive you wish to install the new os on, there is a button on the bottom called either options or custom, I think options and you have a list of things you can do and one of them is Upgrade your current Mac OS to Mac OS X 10.5.

    You could also select Archive and Install, just make sure the "transfer settings, etc' is checked. Then it will put down a fresh system install, and import from the old system folder your applications, and every setting/document you can imagine.
