Installing bluestacks in Mac OS 10.5.8

Hey there! I am trying to install Bluestacks on my Macbook but it says that the version of this app is incompatible with my OS.

I downloaded bluestacks for Mac OS X from the official site (http://www.bluestacks.com/)

Once the dowload finishes downloading the file (.dmg), the OS automaticly mounts the file. I then move the file into the app folder. Once it finishes moving I try to open it but it says it isnt compatible with the version of my OS (10.5.8).

Below are some snapshots of my problem.

Hope someone can help me!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Does the Brazil Apple Store ship to Argentina? http://store.apple.com/br/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Your computers specs are perfect for Snow Leopard 10.6.

The highest version your Macbook woud run is 10.7.5, but without 4GB of ram I wouldn't recommend it.

The current version of OS X is 10.9.1 Mavericks.

You're going to notice it more and more. Your OS is seriously outdated, Apple doesn't even support it anymore.

VLC requires a minimum 10.6, Bluestacks probably does also. Have you considered upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6? It's only $20 http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Hey Mike, I'm actually new to the mac comunity. I'm currently residing in Argentina so there's no apple store here nor does apple ship anything to the country. Any alternatives, that is to say, how do I get my hands on an installation disk? Will my macbook handle such version of the OS (10.6), if so, could it handle the latest version of the OS?

Macbook info: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Thanks!
