I know that 10.8 is out now, but we have older Macs that will not work under 10.8, as they do not have Intel processors. Can we still buy and get 10.7, which I believe will support older CPUs?

Since this topic popped up again, several months later, I'll add a quick and impolite answer:
No, you cannot install 10.7 on any Mac that does not have an Intel processor.
All releases of OS X starting with 10.6 require Intel processors.
