Snow Leopard DVD

[JefferyShin]

Hi there.
I have 2 MacBooks.
One is the late 2008 unibody MacBook (2.0Ghz, 2GB Ram).
The other is brand new, just got it today (2.53Ghz, 4GB Ram).

The new MacBook came with a Mac OS X Snow Leopard 'CPU Drop-in DVD'.

Is it possible to use that disk on my late 2008 MacBook? Or is the disk going to install drivers that are specifically designed for the new MacBook?

They both run Leopard at the moment, but I want SL on my 2008.


Thanks.

Technically speaking, you can install SL on both machines.

Legally speaking, you cannot install that SL disc on both machines.

Haha yeah, I'm the guy that doesn't really like breaking rules, even if I can.

So the disc from a new MacBook can work perfectly on a old MacBook?

Sorry, I'm just kinda nervous here.

Yes it will work on your MB.

However for $30, go buy a retail disk.

Having said that if you use OpenGL with your 9400m stay with Leopard for now. There are some quite interesting bugs with the SL drivers upon waking from sleep.
