Re: Mac for Windows PC dummies

You Core Duo machine is limited to OS-10.7 Lion THAT is because in is 32 bit wide 10.8 Mountain Lion is 64 bit wide. I have a Mid-2007 White MacBook with the same limitations. Apple HAS updated iTunes recently for your machine. You need to max out your RAM at 2GB. 2 1GB 667 DIMMs. I also

Install 4GB RAM in 2 2GB DIMMs A port on the bottom edge EASILY gives access to the RAM. I just did a 2008 iMac 20" RAM upgrade for a friend.. My late 2009 Mac Mini 2.53Ghz. C2D 3MB L2 works fine with 10.9 Mavericks so far... You COULD go to 8GB for 10.11 El Kapitan, suppose.. I've seen no
