Will it run on my iMac? Is it a good idea to install it on this machine?

If so, I may have something wrong going on. When I try to install it says it won't run on this computer!?

Do you already have Leopard installed on it?

The $29 upgrade discs will complain if you don't.

There are ways around this, search for "snow leopard clean install" or "snow leopard install on tiger"
 
Make sure it's a retail version. If it came with a different Mac (as original software) then it's not going to work on yours unless yours is the same model as the one it came with. I don't know how close the model has to be but, for example, if you got a disk that came with a Mac Pro, and tried installing it on a Macbook Pro, it's not going to work.
 
Your hardware is fine. If you are upgrading from Tiger, you need a clean copy of Snow Leopard and you are not entitled to the $29 upgrade version. Obviously, you need a clean SL install.
 
In running 10.5.8, so that's not the problem I don't think. But it's not a retail version of the isntaller disks. Maybe I should get that?
