restore macbook to factory settings

I purchased a vintage Macbook Pro and need to have it restored to factory settings. It's a late model 2008 a1260. Please advise.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Insert its original disk, restart the computer with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the partition with Mac OS X installed, and install a fresh OS onto it. If desired, you can use a retail Mac OS X DVD newer than it instead, but won't get iLife.
