Please provide us with more details on your Mac; such as which model is it, how much RAM and how much free disk space.

os x 10.5 8 1.5 gb DDR2 2.1 gigh pwr pc G5 disk space cant find
Since your Mac has a PowerPC processor, 10.5.8 is as new of a version of OS X that it can run.
Allan
so I am up to date on a mac then this realy aint old thern or need to up grade my unit then?
Correct. For that G5 Mac, you are current.
Allan
a lady lived out of town and put on consingment for 400 $ and I saved it up paid it off and they sent the $ to her thats how I got this I thought crap I have a peice of junk after been told to up grade to snow leppard or what ever. and this did not come with a todo list I cant find a free one.
ty so much I now feel better of my pourchas
What were you attempting to do that told you to upgrade to Snow Leopard?
Allan
how do I know what max is for DDR Ram? can be used?
not sure all I know is there is win 98 win xp and 7 and now 8 and vista so did not know what macs can run on and if Apple gets new virsions id be effected or not. I use to have the ones that look like a tv there in diffrent colors I forget what they were.
PowerPC Macs do not do Windows. They run OS X
The version of OS X your Mac is running is called Leopard 10.5.8 and is the last version it can run.
Today most Mac have Intel processors and can run
Snow Leopard 10.6
Lion 10.7
Mountain Lion 10.8
And the soon to be released Mavericks 10.9
The vast majority of the software has been upgrade to require one of the newer versions of OS X. That was the reason for my question about what caused you to see the request to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.

Whoever told you to get Leopard didn't know what they are talking about. Leopard is what you are currently running.
