Hi,

It should work yes. As long as the different partitions run either 10.5 or 10.6.

If you're trying to run multiple versions of the Mac OS on one Mac, then it's best to use different partitions on your hard drive.

You can use Parallels or VMWare to do that as well, but it's more cumbersome than just creating a couple of partitions on your hard drive and doing it that way.

Parallels or VMWare Fusion both work very well for running non-Mac operating systems on a Mac like Windows. Make sure you have plenty of hard disk space and RAM allocated to your virtual machine (The OS that will be running inside your Mac is called a virtual machine). I suggest 20-30GB of disk space for your virtual machine & at least 4GB of RAM installed on your Mac w/at least 1.5GB to your virtual machine, but 2GB is better.

Don't have that many Macs.... Would you use Parallels to have multiple versions of OS on Mac?
