C2D disks are loaded w/ 10.4.8 while CD are loaded w/ 10.4.7, iirc

OEM discs (like yours) are linked to the specific hardware type. So, yours wouldn't work on an iMac, for example.

Usually. Apple's a bit random with that.

How badly does this reflect on humanity?

Nsk, I'm not implying you are, but please don't help steal Mac OS X.

Thank you.

Please don't ask for that kind of help here. It's against the EULA to use it on more than one machine.
