Loading Snow Leopard on an older, upgraded (cpu) Mac Pro..
#11
Not sure if it's still possible, but several years ago I talked the Apple help folks into sending me their "white label" version of the 10.6.7 installer DVD... actually must've done a really good job, because they ended up sending me two of 'em. Made setting up the last of the SL'able Macs a lot easier. Of course in the intervening years, like others have noted, making a master 10.6.8 install for SL'ing machines has been the easiest of all. Ask around your 'hood, somebody probably already has a 10.6.8 USB stick and/or disk image you could borrow.

Going the other direction... I wonder if you could still run Leopard 10.5.x on a Mac Pro 4,1 that has been upgraded to a 5,1? Intuitively, I think it might work depending on the processors and GPU in the machine... interesting to try to figure out what the fastest Leopard machine could be.
