[QUOTE="SWLinPHX, post: 1837473, member: 398893"] Snow Leopard was replaced by Lion in late 2011. But yes, 2006 machines shipped with Tiger. So you can install any version of Snow Leopard on that machine. I have two Snow Leopard 10.6.8 virtual boot disks I keep on a couple portable hard drives for booting. I run Snow Leopard and High Sierra on separate partitions on all my MacBook Pros, including two early 2011 17" models. They are the last to run Snow Leopard (and the last year they made 17" laptops). Snow Leopard was the last true OS X before it became OS-ified. So I like having both, especially since Snow Leopard was the last to run Rosetta which lets me run some earlier apps I use for business. It was also a very stable OS X version, lasting [I]a few years[/I] before Lion replaced it. I have both installed on both my 17" MBPros, but usually keep one in High Sierra and one in Snow Leopard.
