    You might want to take a look at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26562/leopardassist if you're having issues installing snow leopard on an old intel mac. If the computer is ppc (PowerPC) your out of luck.

    10.6.2 installs onto any Intel Mac, and 10.5.8 Installer claims to require anything faster than a 867MHz G4 and 512MB of RAM, although it will technically run on less.

    I have read somewhere (can't find the source now) that Mac OS X is only licensed to run on Apple hardware but that Mac OS X Server can run on non-Apple hardware and virtualised platforms.

    I have two questions:-

    1. Is this correct?

    2. Can I install and run the iPhone SDK on Mac OS X Server?

    Thanks...

    1) No. Mac OS X Server can NOT be legally run on non-Apple hardware. It CAN be virtualized on Apple hardware.

    2) Yes, the iPhone SDK does install on Mac OS X Server.

    Phuzion, the question was not if LEGALLY it was possible. Yes, it is possible to run MAC OS on non-Apple hardware. I write this message with Safari running on a VMWare machine for MAC OS on Windows.
