i have os x 10.5.8 and need to upgrade to os x 10.6.8. What do I need to do to get started?

i have os x 10.5.8 and need to upgrade to os x 10.6.8. What product do I need to upgrade to? I cant seem to find os x 10.6.8, I can only see OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion, and I am not sure what is what, and if my machine (MacBook from 2008 running os x 10.5.8) is compatible or not. Please help! Thanks, Rob

MacBook, iOS 5

Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x


It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.


Do this first...


Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...


Snow Leopard Tech Specs

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

Other countries...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.



Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
