Will Snow Leopard work on my 2006 iMac?

[mkrndll]

Hi there,

I need some help from the pro's here . I have an old 2006 iMac which I still use a lot, but lately a lot of software has just stopped working because of compatibility issues with the latest versions.

My questions are:

• 
  Will Snow Leopard work on my computer? It is a 2006 iMac with a 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4Gb RAM

• Can I install Snow Leopard directly on top of 10.4? (As stated here: http://osxdaily.com/2009/08/28/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard-upgrade-works-on-tiger-104-machines/ )

Thanks a lot!

Yes, you can use Snow Leopard, as you have an Intel Mac. As far as installing over 10.4, you'll probably need to do a back up, then you boot from the disk and do an archive & install.

I would recommend a clean install. That way you will get rid of excess junk, and typically it will run better. But yes you can do an upgrade.

Just remember to back up first.
