Leopard requirements.
Also, if your MacBook didn't ship with Leopard and your friend's did, their recovery discs won't work in your MacBook as they are different models. You'll need a retail Leopard disc.

Your signature makes me believe that you have a Core Duo MacBook.
If your buddy's system came with Leopard, than it is not just a different processor, it is a different chipset.
Also, don't accuse Apple of being 'gay' just because you are unwilling to spend the money to get your own damn copy of Leopard.
512 ram in the macbook does work fine, although more ram would be better. If your macbook is a core duo, you will need to use macbook restore discs from another core duo. Some 1.83 macbooks were core 2 duo and if this is your case, you will need the macbook restore discs from a core 2 duo. The macbook core duo discs will not work in core 2 duo and vice versa.
i guess mac isnt like it used to be now its pulling something microsoft would do,,, but would like somone elses retail dvd work or does it have to be my own
