[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1299559, member: 56379"] No one ever said you had to buy a new computer to upgrade the OS....I least I hope no one has told you that!;) Assuming your MacBook has a core 2 duo cpu...you can upgrade to any newer OS Apple has to offer. You can upgrade to: - OS 10.5 "Leopard" (e-Bay & sometimes Craig's List) - OS 10.6 "Snow Leopard" (Apple Store: 3-5 days, or e-Bay) - OS 10.7 "Lion" (Apple: "Mac App Store"). But to upgrade to Lion you must have OS 10.6.6 or later installed to access the "Mac App Store" in order to download "Lion". Review your needs, review the apps you have & what OS versions they are compatible with...then make your decision on which OS to upgrade to. HTH,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
