My friend has a MacBook, who he believe is either later 2008 or early 2009 version, still run the Snow Leopard, he has couple of questions.
1. is this hardware support the latest Mountain Lion OS?
2. if it didn't officially support, is there any way to install it with certain limitation.
3. is there anyway to upgrade directly from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion without upgrade to Lion first.
Any first hand experience to be shared will be great, thanks.

First of all, Mountain Lion isn't the latest OS as it is still in development. Lion, OS X 10.7, is the latest supported OS. Take a look at the threads in the link below for answers to your questions on installing Lion.

Of course, I know everything . . . I just can't remember it all at once.
