A new iMac will come preinstalled with Lion, or possibly Mountain Lion if you purchase in July, but I think Snow Leopard was sold as a DVD (as opposed to an App store purchase that Lion was), so if you can get hold of a copy and then overwrite whatever is on there, it should work.

Don't forget that Mountain Lion is due out next month.

scene said:It's not a stupid question. Some new Macs don't support Snow Leopard, I think new iMacs do. There is a very good post for it on the Apple discussion pages. Not sure if I can post a link to this, but if you look for a post with the title "Macs and Software that will run with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.x)" you should find it.

Post away - new forum rules allow you to post to other forums now (as long as it's not promoting anything porongraphic or illegal, which I'm sure it's not given the subject matter!).
