Snow Leopard and/or Lion on Older Macs?
My house is where Macs go to die if they're very good, apparently. I have 5 of them, all still working. However, I need to know how far I can go with the G4 and the older G3 PowerBooks.
If I buy a copy of Lion for the newer MacBook Pro, which I bought Snow Leopard for, can I install Snow Leopard on the G4? Please note, I DID purchase this separately, so I think I may have the install disks. Also, does anyone know how to purchase antiquated OSs? I have a copy of OS X itself, which should never have been allowed to escape, but I hesitate installing it on the G3 as I had to uninstall it on the iMac to get the iMac to work any more. But if there's a slightly better version that the G3s will take, I'd be willing to purchase 2 copies (or a household copy if that's necessary). I KNOW you can't run Snow Leopard on a second-generation iMac.
Help?
Love my Mac!, Mac OS X (10.4.10)
