[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1494370, member: 131855"] Here's a good overview of the [URL="http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/"]upgrade process [/URL] including a link to Snow Leopard ($19.99). There are a few things to keep in mind: 1. Once Snow Leopard is installed and updated you can skip to Mountain Lion ($19.99) without doing any of the Lion upgrades/updates). 2. Mountain Lion will run with 2 GB of memory but 4 GB seems to be a good number for most users. Some users will notice performance improvements by going beyond 4 GB if possible but this depends upon how you use your machine. 3. If you are running any older software that used Power PC code (think G5 of earlier) that software will not run under OS 10.7 or 10.8 unless you upgrade it. If you have questions about specific pieces of software just ask. [/QUOTE]
