 Anything downloadable is usually piracy and "not discussed HERE." I would not recommend buying such--if it was legitimate--since you will need the disk should something go wrong with your computer software later. You have to boot off the Installation Disk. However, there ARE cheaper versions of Leopard that are legitimate. MAKE SURE YOU ARE BUYING A RETAIL DISK, because some [CENSORED--Ed.] will sell you a cheap machine-specific disk which will not work on your machine. --J.D.

We're just guessing here - so, could you go to your Apple menu, then click on About this Mac, then tell us what the processor information shows? If you have an Intel Core Duo, and not a PowerPC, then you can be OK with Snow Leopard. If you have a PowerPC, then Leopard is the maximum for you. In any case - and even if you don't upgrade your software at all - upgrading your RAM memory is a Good Thing™ to do. The memory is cheap, although upgrading a mini is a tricky proposition. If you upgrade to Leopard, you will be hampered by low memory all the time, and you WON"T get good performance. If you have an Intel processor, you can upgrade to at least 2GB, which is good for Snow Leopard. You can do a search at the usual web sites for Leopard, if you need to settle for that. The price for a new Leopard has jumped right up. http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Version.../dp/B000FK88JK Try eBay, but be careful that you get the same type of commercial box!

Unless you go to a reseller where they simply still have some leo boxes. We certainly didn't up the price. Was 189 CHF, is 189 CHF.

It means that Snow Leopard would be fine, after you upgrade the RAM memory to 2GB. You only need 1 GB, but memory is too cheap to stop with the minimum
