I still have an old Power PC machine and was wondering what the latest OS X build I can install on it?

snow leopard (OS X 10.6) is also the first Mac OS release since the introduction of System 7.1.2 that does not support the PowerPC architecture, as Apple now intends to focus on its current line of Intel-based products.

then PowerPC support os x until 10.5 version (Leoprad)
