    "Multi-Touch gestures in
    older Mac models.
    All Mac notebooks with Multi-Touch trackpads now support three- and four-finger gestures."

    from the snow leopard site.

    does this mean what i think it means? will my older mac (summer 2007) support multitouch?

    Most synaptics touchpad, on Macs, HPs, Acers..etc support 1/2/3/4/5 finger multitouch features.
    It's just that Apple doesn't want every Mac to have that feature, thus they disabled them. So, one should not be surprised if Apple re-enable the feature through software in future updates.
