PowerPC Macs are no longer supported with Snow Leopard, however you will need an Intel-based Mac to install the latest Mac OS. On our second try, the OS installed perfectly on our test machine and no files were harmed. Fortunately the new installer is designed for safely reinstalling the OS in the event you encounter any hiccups during your initial installation. Mostly we had no problems, but on one test machine we needed to reinstall the OS when it had trouble rebooting. The default setting installs Snow Leopard without tampering with any of your saved files, music, photos, or documents. On our test machine, the process took about an hour, including two automatic restarts. Installation of Snow Leopard is dead simple and (according to Apple) up to 45 percent faster than Leopard using a newly designed installer that asks only one question during the process. MAC OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 FOR INTEL-AMD
