Re: Using the volt or disk utility

Hi Chris. Actually, anyone that has the version of Snow Leopard that introduced the Mac App Store can run El Capitan. As for your question about specs, Apple recommends that you run it with at least 4 GB of ram. Sure, you can run it with 2, but you're probably asking for trouble if you do.
