[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1584917, member: 131855"] Mavericks runs reasonably well on the Core 2 Duo processor. It runs well on my MacBook Pro. There are a couple of things that you need to do before you start the upgrade process. 1. Check to make sure that you don't have some older Power PC apps that you need to run. Snow Leopard can still run Power PC apps but Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks can't. Here's [URL="http://sanziro.com/2011/07/how-to-identify-powerpc-applications-on-mac-os-x.html"]one way to tell if you're still running Power PC apps[/URL]. 2. Use something like Super Duper, Carbon Copy Cloner, etc. to clone your current installation to an external drive. Make sure it is a bootable clone. That will be the easiest way to go back to Snow Leopard if you don't like the changes. [/QUOTE]
