Q: Apple TV and Mac OSX 10.6.8

I have recently purchased Apple TV 3^rd generation. The two computers I have (Macbook Pro early 2008 model – 4.1) and (Macbook Pro 2010 model – 7.1) both run on Mac OSX 10.6.8. Is it possible to run airplay on this system? If not, what are the options available in order to get airplay, as it is the main feature I would like to utilize?
