[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1636943, member: 56379"] Nope…not correct. The key detail that was mentioned in post #1 was that this computer was a "Core Duo". With a "Core Duo" CPU…this computer has a max. ram of 2gig…and max. OS of 10.6.8. Now if this computer was a "Core 2 Duo"…then what you mentioned is correct. 4gig of ram can be installed (only 3gig addressable)…and a max. OS of 10.7.5. Don't give up on helping this person get a Macintosh computer.:) They just need to spend a little bit more money…to get a slightly newer model. If this person really wanted a Mac (and use the Mac OS)…getting a "cheap PC" is not the answer. Windows and the Mac OS…and Mac hardware and Windows hardware are very different. A "cheap PC" is not a great substitute for a Mac if this person wanted a Mac.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
