On MacRumors, I maintain a thread for the ability to continue to use Mac OS X Snow Leopard on more modern Macs for those who need it; primarily those having the need to continue to run orphaned PowerPC software, such as FreeHand.

One person has asked me to benchmark results from running Snow Leopard native on my 2011 Mac Mini vs. running Snow Leopard in Parallels on my 2018 Mac Book Pro.

Are there downloads available that will allow me to accomplish this for him?

    I downloaded GeekBench 3 and ran it native in Snow Leopard on my 2011 Mac Mini but at the end it says it cannot reach your server on a secure basis and never shows me the results. Please advise.

    OK: I understand now and purchased the $9.99 license for GB3 and it works!
