[OS X] Looking for retail 10.6

I have a Mackbook C2D on 10.5.8 that I want to update to 10.8 If I can. I am looking for someone that wants to sell their retail 10.6. If you are interested, let me know

You simply need access to a machine running 10.6.8 or newer and from there you can make a bootable USB drive:

At only 400MB that appears to be an updater.

It's 20 bucks and in stock at the Apple Store. But if your MacBook is EFI32, you are stuck with Lion. ML won't install. To tell, open terminal and type

ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi
 

If it reports EFI64, yer good.

Thanks for all the replies. Looks like Lion is all it will handle.

Personally I would stay on Snow Leopard (10.6) vs. Lion (10.7)

More and more stuff is requiring 10.7.4 or 5 like the latest versions of the iLife apps and iCloud.

Yeah, that is true. I just dislike Lion so much.

I am less of a fan of everything after 10.4.7 myself.

Same here... I skipped lion on my work machines, went from 10.6 o 10.8 directly... 10.8 behaves much better.
