Will Snow Leopard be a complete overwrite of everything on you computer, so that you lose everything you have, (make back-ups) or will it be an OS overwrite so all apps, documents and preferences are saved and just the actual OS is overwritten. I would hate to lose everything that is on my MacBook, but if it actually is worth the upgrade then I am willing to do it?
Got a tip for us?

It will be just like any other OS upgrade - only the OS components get upgraded.
The apps and files remain untouched.

It will be possible to upgrade.
However, with a new OS, you are best starting fresh. Backup using Time Machine, then do a fresh install and install all of your applications again.

It'll be the same as absolutely every other new OS.
Just make sure you have a Core 2 or better for safety's sake.
And no, Core Duo isn't Core 2.
