I wouldn't see why not.

But you might have another issue you may not like with the 64-bit version of leopard.

Apple has started sending serial numbers with the 64 bit version's of leopard to stop piracy but you have to have the 64 bit version registered everytime you reinstall 64-bit leopard.
If you use a illegal copy or someone steals your serial number you can be held responsible for copyright infrigement.

My recommendation is that if you are willing to pay the 300.00 for the 64-bit version of leopard then do it and have fun but just remember to keep your serial under lock and key.

no in fact first edition leopard disk's do not contain the 64-bit versions of leopard at all.

Kinda sucks charging more for a faster version

WHAT??? Please don't provide false information!! LOL.




Leopard isn't entirely like Windows, where you're expected to install the 32 or 64-bit variants of the OS based on the system / CPU that will run it. We discussed this with Apple, which expressed that this latest version of OS X takes a far simpler approach for the end-user than multiple hardware-centric OS versions, opting instead to run both 64 and 32-bit apps and drivers on any 64-bit machine, and defaulting to the usual 32-bit app / driver operation on 32-bit Macs. In other words, users with 64-bit capable Intel machines will see a performance boost if running 64-bit apps, but those that don't have a newer Apple box won't be at all penalized -- nor will they be unable to upgrade. So, we cool?
