It is called a forced Hardware Upgrade
This happens with MS releases also, although they do go further back
than Apple does.
I still have an old laptop that I could not install ME on as it was
not a fast enough processor (I am not sure it would even install 98SE.)
I have a couple of machines at home that will not take 7 as they are
below the 1 GB processor threshold.
Apple and MS both do this to make sure people do not complain that it
makes their systems run like a dog not realizing that the hardware
was never designed for it to begin with.

Any Intel Mac. I've heard the argument that Apple would prefer everyone to
be current to making tons of money on the software upgrade.
