Normally the install disk that comes with the computer you buy will only work on that computer.

Worth a try, though. I believe it'll give you a message saying you cannot install, but you can give it a try.

The computer has to be an Intel Mac. PPC macs cant upgrade.

No you cannot. You can upgrade a PPC to Leopard, not Snow Leopard. Leopard was the last OS X to support PPC.

I think what Fortune was trying to get at is that the Macbook Leopard disc won't work with a PPC, which may be true.

Yes i know that. I was thinking about the specific installation disc that came with his Macbook.

It'll work in any Mac. You can use another Mac's install disk in different Macs, but, to my knowledge, you can only use the disk for Disk Utility and other applications in the Application menu. Trying to install will give you a message saying that the disk is not meant for the computer you're trying to install on, or some such.

Hm. When i tried to install a leopard disc onto my G5 running tiger, it didnt work.
it was already used on my mom's mac, do you think that makes it unusable?
