What is the difference between os x leopard and snow leopard?
The main difference between Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is that Leopard is the last version that will run on the older Power G4 and G5 processors. Snow Leopard and subsequent versions (such as Lion) will only run on Macs with an Intel processor. Consequently much of the differences between Leopard and Snow Leopard were in the inner workings of the system which were rewritten to take advantage of the Intel processors and to strip out the old PPC code resulting in a faster and smaller system.

No - considering you're running 10.2.8 (and haven't upgraded since then), I would guess you are running either a G4 or G5 processor, which do not meet 10.6's requirement for an Intel processor.
