[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1568874, member: 24160"] 10.8 cannot be installed on that Mac. 10.7 is the highest it will go. No, there is no way to run 10.8 on that Mac. Feel your pain - I own that same model. You can put 4 GB RAM in it - which I have in mine - but it can only use 3GB. Using paired memory - 4 GB - will allow it to use it's dual channel capability. Don't know how much a a speed boost that really gives you, as I've never tried 3 GB in mine. And, if you truly have less than 8 GB of free space on a hard drive - am also quite sure it is running just about like a Ford Escort with bald tires through a mud pit. [/QUOTE]
