Confusion over compatible Intel Processor

[SisterRay]

On the Apple UK site, it states the processor requirements specification for snow leopard is an intel processor, but next to this it shows the icon for a core 2 duo processor. I have the original macbook with a core duo processor. Is my macbook compatible with snow leopard?

It is but it won't take the advantage of 64-bit but it still worth the upgrade

As long as you have a gig of RAM.

Took the plunge and ordered it. What's the worst that can happen?

Nothing, because it's going to work.

the worst? the installer will cause the cpu to heat up, causing a fire, destroying your house and neighborhood. the fire spreads so fast that the nuclear plant nearby doesn't have time to shut down properly, causing a nuclear explosion that spreads around the world - not killing anyone immediately, mind you, but causing them much pain and suffering.
