I have steam and I recently realized that left 4 Dead 1 & 2 are steamplay (runs on PC and MAC) but the mac system requirements are osx 10.6.

My question is should I go and buy 10.6 or should I just get a new computer?

My computer specs are:

osx 10.5.8 (imac)
Processor 2.66 Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics card = ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro

L4D(1&2) system requirements are:

OS: MacOSX 10.6.4 or higher (Snow Leopard Graphics Update Required)
Processor: Dual Core Intel Processor, 2GHz or better
Video Card: ATI Radeon 2400 or higher/ NVDIA 8600M or higher

Thats for any Input :apple:
 
You have more than min system requirements. Spending your money on a new machine would be a complete waste imho.
Upgrade to SL.
 
Upgrade to 4GB RAM since the prices are rock bottom now, and then upgrade to Snow Leopard, you'll notice big differences.
 
Thanks for the input. I posted this question on another forum as well and most of the answers are 4GB of ram and SL
