The question is specially valid if you have Xcode coding in mind, since it simply won't work on your system.

Otherwise, if you think about it as a kind of enjoyable science experiment, or if a 32-bit system suit well your demands and you're willing to investing a lot of time fine-tuning your machine, or both (my case), then you should keep on trying.
Snow Leopard is not compatible with GTX 570. Thank apple for never releasing drivers for this operating system, and for some reason no one is smart enough to make hacked drivers to make gtx 570/500 series work with snow leopard. I really don't get why the same drivers for the 400 series on apple do not work with the 500 series. It makes 0 sense to me. I know on windows, 8000 series, 200 series, 400 series, 500 series, all use the same drivers for Nvidia. The resolution is ugly on my 1920 x 1200 resolution when its force to 1024x resolution. Also, I keep getting a beachball loading on Snow Leopard and I have no idea why, it randomly does it at times.
