Mac Pro Install disc for a Macbook Pro?

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if theoretically it would be possible to use the install discs for Leopard on a new Macbook Pro. Meaning that the disc says 'MAC PRO: Mac OS X ...." but would they still work alright on a late 2009 Macbook Pro?

Thanks guys!

If they are grey disks and did not come with the machine onto
which you plan to install them -- they will not work.
If they are black disks then they should work.

No. A Mac generally can't start up from an OS older than the one which shipped with it.

If you go to the Apple online store, the details for each of
the products will tell you the system requirements.
