[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1531036, member: 24160"] An iMac 7,1 would have a core 2 duo, not the core duo chip. If it's the core duo, then what you have is the 6,1 iMac. Apple says the 7,1 is capable of running 10.8, although, I wouldn't unless you put at least 4 GB RAM in it. The 6,1 is not. To get there, you'll need to order Snow Leopard from Apple - $20 shipped in the U.S. Not sure what the price is in the UK. That machine, I might be inclined to keep it at Snow Leopard. To get to ML though, once you have SL installed, grab and run the 10.6.8 combo update to update the machine, then you'll have access to the app store to purchase 10.8. [/QUOTE]
