Snow Leopard

Product
The name of the base system (platform): Mac OS
Developers: Apple
Technology: OS

The operating system of Apple company - Mac OS 10.6.

Basic

Mac OS X always supported 64-bit technologies, but Snow Leopard reaches new level: almost all system applications are translated to the 64-bit code (Finder, Mail, Safari, iCal and iChat), and Mac involves more than the RAM now. Speed and reliability of Mac OS X became above, and a system is ready to development.

Modern Mac computers support up to 32 GB of physical memory whereas no more than 4 GB of the RAM can use 32-bit applications. For 64-bit technologies there are no such restrictions just: theoretically, such applications can use 16 billion gigabytes.

With support of 64-bit technologies in Snow Leopard the Mac OS X system is completely ready to any innovations of computer technologies. Snow Leopard is capable to support to the 16th RAM terabyte — approximately in 500 times more of modern opportunities of Mac computers.

One more advantage of the 64-bit Snow Leopard applications — they are steadier against the attacks of hackers and the malware, than 32-bit versions. More perfect technicians of identification of a malicious code are embedded in 64-bit applications.

For simplicity and universality of Mac OS X is still issued in the form of the uniform version supporting both 64-bit, and 32-bit applications.
