Can't seem to find this stated plainly in the threads…

I'm using NBI 351.

Since 8.4 rc1 is newer.. does that fully replace NI 351 or does NI 351 have something that 8.4 RC1 does not ?

Why would someone use one over the other on a Mini 9 and 10v ?

Thanks !

somewhere i read the only difference had something to do with memory allocation...

...351 is more recent than 8.4 rc1, just with higher memory allocation. everything else is the same.
you need to use ...351 if you're updating to 10.6.4 though 10.6.7; otherwise you normally get a kernel panic.

cheers.

For some reason I kept thinking that 8.4 rc1 was newer. Maybe I saw it after I saw 351 ?
I even quickly looked at melkort's blog to see if I could confirm what was up.
Totally missed it on page 2 of his blog. Sheesh… Duh

You are correct.

Since the thread now exists I may as well make it semi-useful by explaining
in additional detail for anyone else with the same question….

According to Melkort's blog…

-March 27, 2010 NBI 0.8.4 rc1 Released

Quote: "For those of you wanting to update to 10.6.4 with NBI, please
note that there is a slight issues wiht NBI and large
/System/Library/Extensions folders, the 10.6.4 undate increates
this folder above the threshold, and so NBI is unable to
regenerate the Extensions.mkext correctly"


Which was why a fix was released:
-June 17, 2010 NBI 20100616212351 (aka NBI Special or NBI351)
