MacBook Upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard?

I havve a MacBook running 10.4.2 Tiger. I want to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard. Do I have to upgrade to 10.5 Leopard first? If so, would it be best to just upgrade to Leopard and forget about Snow Leopard. My intent is to try my hand at writing IPhone apps with XCode.

    Depending on what version of macbook, you should be able to update to snow leopard from tiger. You will just need to get the boxed set from snow leopard and you won't have to install leopard at all. Make sure you have 1gb ram and an intel processor and at least 7g on your hard drive and you will be ok.

    Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and is definitely much better than Leopard.

    You should be able to upgrade directly from Tiger to Snow Leopard, however you must have an Intel-based processor. PowerPC is no longer supported under Snow Leopard.

    If your processor is a PowerPC, you're pretty much limited to Leopard and may consider upgrading to a newer Macbook in the near future.

    Enjoy :)

    Ha, your hardware can run Win Seven, i'm being severe here. deploy homestead windows Seven and in no way look back. Too many legends and myths and horror thoughts are placed on homestead windows on the instant... It has constantly been the extra advantageous OS. Please... come returned to homestead windows, and Microsoft..... We nonetheless love you, unhappy Mac person... we will not carry something against you, in basic terms please refrain from utilising Mac ever returned...
