    The only operating system you can upgrade to is OS X 10.5 Leopard. Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor, which the Powerbooks don't have. I confirmed the other day that you can still buy Leopard from the US online Apple store at 800-MY-APPLE.

     

    Before you update, be sure you download any updates to non-Apple software that may be needed to run under Leopard.

    And even more important, backup your data at least twice, shut down, and remove any peripherals from the computer except power before the upgrade.
