I want to upgrade my Mac from tiger to Snow Leopard. Per the Apple website, I need to purchase the Box set which is considerably more ($160 something vs $29). I've done a little some searches on Google and it seems like I can use the $29 and it will work without having to buy the set. Is this true? Any experience with this?

Thanks!

Hopefully you have an Intel Mac because after a while the Non-Intel Macs can only handle a certain OS.
 
Lion is 10.7

I have read on the Apple forums that it is possible to go from 10.4 to 10.6 without needing to upgrade to 10.5 first. But as always it is at your own risk.

Also, you need to make sure your Mac is compatible with 10.6 as some older macs aren't. Check out the requirements first.
 
Intel mac and $29 snow leopard disk. Recommend you backup using Superduper (free). Once you have that done wipe and format your drive and install 10.6 clean. Then as you go through the set up select the option to import from another volume aka your backup. Its clean and brings over only what you need.
 
I've you're running 10.4 forget about upgrading to 10.6. I upgraded from a macbook running 10.4 to a macbook air running 10.6 and barely notice a difference.
 
^There is a vast difference between the OS10.4 and 10.6

Leopard (10.5) introduced 300+ new features, whereas Snow Leopard (10.6) improved on the performance, greater efficiency and the reduction of its overall memory footprint and delivered a much more refined version of OSX 10.5.

Leopard was also the last OS to support PowerPC processors.
 
Thanks for our input guys! I ended up upgrading to 10.6 but because I had under 1 gig of ram, I upgraded to 2 gigs and computer is running pretty well :)
