Hi,

I have a G4 iBook and want to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I have bought the disk and it is telling me I need an Intel system to use it. Is there any way of upgrading my iBook so I can use Snow Leopard?

Thanks,

Paul.

I am afraid the answer is NO, at least for now.

novicew is quite correct. As per this page and the side of the Snow Leopard box, you are required to be using a "Mac computer with an Intel processor". Depending on the G4 you have though (among other things), you may be able to upgrade to Leopard. See here.
