Can I upgrade my mac to Snow Leopard?

I have a macbook purchased in 2007. I am currently running on OSX. I'm thinking of purchasing the snow leopard upgrade - but will it work from the version I'm currently using? Thanks!

    Only if you have Intel

    Yes, if your computer has an Intel processor. You can verify this by clicking "About This Mac" in the Apple menu. It's very easy to do if you have a compatible computer. Apple's website will give you complete information on the minimum system requirements, installation instructions, etc.

    Have fun with Snow Leopard! It's a lot of fun.

    If it was purchased in 2007 it should have an intel processor. Make sure you 1GB of RAM or more. You can check that by clicking where it says "about this mac". Click on the little apple in the top left corner and if it say 1GB or more where it says memory. If you meet these requirements, enjoy Snow Leopard!

    yes you can. you probably will see major improvement. see hardware in comps are actually a lot more powerful then what you use. software is what caps it and snow leopard lets your hardware work at its full potential. get it! i have it on my new 09 alu body macbook. i love it. quicktime X is to die for along with perian. ANY files in the world can be played. its great.

    Yes!

    any Macbook either running Mac OS X or later can upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

    All you have to do is go to your local Apple Retail Store and talk to them! (they're really clever people!)

    or you can purchase online at:

    Apple US Website:

    Apple UK Website:

    ....Hope this Helps!
