$29.00 Snow Leopard Install (with or without Leopard) plus Snow Leopard Review
Mac users will be glad to know that the rumors of a $29. Snow Leopard disc install have been confirmed. You can buy the Snow Leopard disc and install it whether you have Leopard already installed or not. I found the disc on amazon.com US for $25.
From all reports Snow Leopard speeds up even older Macs - Gizmodo has all the information in its review of Snow Leopard:
Snow Leopard Review: Lightened and Enlightened
Bonus for Mac-less and Desktop Wallpaper aficionados of all sorts:

'Mac users who upgrade their operating system will be left exposed to Adobe Flash-based attacks..' http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/03/snow_leopard_forced_flash_downgr...
Installing the upgrade version of Snow Leopard on a non-Leopard machine violates the license agreement, even if it is technically possible. It's distasteful and not in line with this site's core principles to post and endorse something that is clearly not allowed.

Sigh. Even that very article, if you read it, tells you that that dongle is against the license agreement also. Although Apple (likely) wouldn't bother individual personal users using it. Almost all companies take the same stance with pirated copies also. It doesn't mean it's right or allowed.
Anyway...this idiotic submission is still here, so Gizmo's made his call apparently. So be it.
Indeed, from the linked article it says "..expensive lawyers warn me that the use of Leopard on non-Apple hardware for business purposes might be deemed by a UK court to be a criminal breach of copyright. You have been warned."
Can you explain how this gizmo article endorses or encourages the use of SL on non Mac machines?
Anyway....it seems that you missed the point of the linked article that was in response to your OP.
The title of this home page is: "Gizmos Freeware",... nuf said !
Beware of the 'dodgy' sites offering SL.
