download mountain lion incompatibility

I have a 4 year old mac book which is up to date as far as the operating system. however, when i tried to download mountain lion, it said that my mac was incompatible with mountain lion. i had not read anywhere that this incompatibility occurs and was curious if anyone else has run into the same problem.

Apple released a list of the requirements to run Mountain Lion well before Mountain Lion was released.
