Mac OS X Snow Leopard and later OS X versions require an Intel-based Mac, and you have got a PowerPC Mac. This means that you can't use Mac OS X Snow Leopard, having Mac OS X Leopard as the latest version for your PowerMac if it meets Mac OS X Leopard requirements > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP517?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
