I have just received my Snow Leopard but I cannot install it. My specification is MAC OS X version 10.5.8 Processor 2GHZ Intel core duo. Memory 512mb 607 MHZ DDR2 SD ram. What is missing and how can I amend it without too much cost to enable me to install it
 
Did you read the specs on SL?

Help Snow Leopard

Is it worth buying or should I put Snow Leopard on EBAY and cut my lossess
 
You don't say what kind of machine you have. It's very easy to replace RAM in a Mac Pro or an iMac. The Mini definitely requires at least a little willingness to take your box apart. I'm not sure about MacBooks, since I don't have one.

But 512 MB is hardly enough to even run Leopard well, let alone Snow Leopard, even if you're not doing any intensive graphics. So I would highly recommend at least 2 GB of RAM, regardless of which OS you end up using.
