[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 946170, member: 56379"] No you cannot use Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)...it is for Intel Mac's only. In fact, you cannot use OS 10.5 either, since your iBook's CPU is not fast enough (you need at least an 867mhz cpu)...so your best bet is OS 10.4 (which can be upgraded to OS 10.4.11). But...to get a copy of OS 10.4 is going to cost you over $100 dollars...probably on eBay. Lastly...$220 dollars for that laptop was a pretty high price (assuming $220 US dollars)...I could have purchased one recently for about $75 with an Airport card...Mac2sell.com says it is worth $60. Hope this helps...good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
