upgrading PPC G5 & intel Macbook

Hi

I currently have a PPC G5 dual 2G and a Macbook intel core 2 duo, both system are currently on 10.4.11.

My question is, if I buy the Snow Leopard Box set, will I be able to upgrade/install 10.5 on the PPC G5, using those discs, or do I need to source a stand alone Leopard disc from somewhere.

Thanks

Macbook and Dual 2 GHz G5, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Snow Leopard does not run on PPC CPUs. You'll need an Intel CPU for Snow Leopard.

As far as I can tell, the Mac Box Set does not come with Leopard at all. Just SL, iLife and iWork. So, I think you will need to find a Leopard disk somewhere.

I guessed that would be the case!

Need to source a Leopard disk from somewhere now!

Thanks
