If a Mac is still running Mac OS 9 then you will need to check that it is powerful enough to run the latest versions of Mac OS X before investing in an upgrade. The requirements for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) are:

▪ Processor must be any Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 (867 MHz and faster)

▪ DVD drive (for installation of the operating system)

▪ At least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM (1 GB) is recommended for development purposes)

▪ At least 9 GB of disk space available.

Assuming the requirements are met a copy of Leopard will need to be acquired secondhand as it is no longer available new. Once installed this can then be upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) available for $29 (£25). Once that is installed running Software Update... will check if there are any recent updates for your software and then you will be up to date with the current Mac OS.

$129.99 but not all older Macs running Mac OS 9 will be able to run the latest version of Mac OS X so check that what you get is compatible with your Mac.
