    Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
    The install discs for your iMac (grey coloured discs) are specifically for that machine.
    You will need to purchase the retail version of Snow Leopard available for US$29 from Apple, also on Amazon, Apple resellers, etc.
