[QUOTE="sago48, post: 1505996, member: 209649"] New drive fitted - thanks for the help. I ordered a Snow Leopard disk online last Sat but it still hasn't turned up. Postage £5 - this must be a record!! So clean install not done yet. I also bought a core 2 duo 64 bit chip - a T5600. I see it's possible with a Core 2 Duo to install Lion, despite the 32 bit kernel, so I was wondering the same about the memory. Do you know if the max memory will rise with the new chip or if 2gig is still the limit? I know the kernel stays at 32 so max would be 3gig I suppose. Though I see that DDR2 is expensive, so maybe not worth it? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
