Full Version of Snow Leopard?
500684
All Mac OS DVDs shipped by Apple to date have been full versions. Technically, Apple's license specifies that one must buy the box set, (Mac OS, iLife and iWork), if one wishes to upgrade from Tiger rather than Leopard. Nevertheless, the Snow Leopard only DVD installs just the same for those with Tiger, and Apple does not police or punish those who choose this route. The installed OS is still eligible for all 10.6.X updates. Apple does not play the same games Microsoft plays with its OS upgrades. If you are attempting to install the Mac OS on a netbook PC to create a HacIntosh, though, I recall reading of Apple's move to prevent this. The installation program reportedly checks the processor type. If it's an Intel Atom, (i.e. a netbook), it halts all further installation. However, Apple cannot distinguish between Intel processors common to both Macs and PCs. Consequently, one can create a HacIntosh from a standard PC, (i.e. those without an Intel Atom processor), of recent vintage. You might wish to research this point further if this is your intent.

It says 10.5 (Leopard) because that is the installation requirement for 10.6 (Snow Leopard). As is stated, you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard from an OS X version prior to 10.5 (Leopard).

Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 is the most recent OSX you can use. Anything newer won't install.

You shouldn't have to. Snow Leopard will have new boot camp drivers, so after install, boot into windows with the DVD in the drive and the update installer should start...

packaging states full version, not an upgrade.... but we have not used it yet.

Upon purchasing my computer, the specs show "Mac OS X v10.5.6" as my OS. So, I am wondering if there is some information that is screwed up. All I know is my computer came with Snow Leopard on it, and I upgraded it to Mavericks. Let me find the seller of my Mac. I will forward that information to you. They may be able to help you better than I. Upon searching for the seller of my computer, I didn't seem to locate anything other than their name: The Mac Toy Store. I am pretty sure you can Google the name and find their contact information. They were super helpful throughout my purchase. Good luck!!!

I ran it on Snow Leopard. Worked great. It's a fun game and I found it very challenging.

I don't know if this will help you. I had to update my operating system to Snow Leopard 6.0.

From the description: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0So you don't need Snow Leopard. You just need Mouse Software Update 1.0.

Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion require an Intel processor. You can get details at the Apple website.

You can update the hard drive but unfortunately you will be locked on the leopard OS 10.5 because everything from snow leopard on is intel processor only and you can't update the processor. I hope that helps.

You are welcome! My advice: buy $29 disk of Snow Leopard OSX 10.6, and go online and keep upgrading the system software to 10.6.8. Stop there. OS 10.6.8 is the most stable OS Apple ever created. Mavericks and Yosemite are awful. MB404LL/A loves OS 10.6.8.
