Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
Wow, what a good friend!
Simply pop it in, click install, and it will upgrade to snow Leopard and keep everything in tact.

Maybe you were thinking of Leopard. SL is white, as shown by the above picture. Anyways, just thought I'd chime in and say that you, sir, have an awesome friend! You must thank him/her daily! :p
