Today I received a package in the mail, it was send to me by Apple and it contained my 29 euro Snow Leopard update. Which is dead cheap when you compare it to the regular 129 euro / dollar OS X upgrade Apple was charging consumers in the past.

The Leopard OS was the last OS to support PPC machines and Snow Leopard is x86/intel only.

Rosetta wasn't installed by default and I had to select it manually as I do have some older PPC software I am still using. The only thing not working was Crossover Games the rest does function without any problems.

The install went very smoothly and the new OS feels a lot quicker. Safari is much snappier.
The experience - and increase in user response time - compares to changing over from Windows Vista to Windows 7.

I say, if you own an intel Mac it may be very worth installing the Snow Leopard OS X !
