Can I run CS5 on a Intel Core Duo

I'm running 10.6.7 and CS3 is a dog with Snow Leopard. Can I run CS5 with my old Intel Core Duo
MacBookPro1,2

Don't know or I wouldn't be asking. Seems smart to check before I download 20 gigs of Software for a 4 year old machine.

  • Can a MacBook Pro1,1 - 2GHz Intel Core Duo be upgraded to Lion or even Leopard?

    Is it possible to upgrade the OS from Tiger to either Lion or Leopard on a MacBookPro1,1  2GHz Intel Core Duo (2006)?  Need to upgrade Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft software...

    Here's something to consider. I see you have 1G RAM. That works well enough for Tiger 10.4. However, I think Leopard or Snow Leopard will be happier if you increase the RAM.
    Your MBP can handle up to 2G of RAM. It has two RAM slots'In your case, there would be one 512MB module in each slot. You could replace one 512MB module with a 1G module and have a total over 1.5G. That would be a big help. Or replace both. If you are in the US, RAM is not expensive (see: 2.0GB Upgrade Kit                 (1.0GB Modules x 2 Matched) for US$33), and the RAM is easily installed even by the most novice user.
    Here are the Apple Instructions for installing RAM in teh first Gen MacBook Pros:

  • Upgrade to Lion if running Intel Core Duo?

    I have a MacBook with the Intel Core Duo (not the Intel Core 2 Duo).  I started to upgrade to Lion and Step 1 says to make sure your Mac can run Lion.  The Intel Core Duo is not mentioned.  Does any one know if Lion can be installed at all?  I have had a Mobile Me account for about 8 years and I am trying to transition to iCloud.  What's a person suppose to do?
    Thanks!

    Lion needs Core2Duo.
    You need to buy new equipment.
    Sorry.

  • Will lion run on Intel Core Duo?

    Will Lion OS run on a 2GHz Intel Core Duo?

    No. Lion will not run on an Intel Core Duo.
    The hardware requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    I have a MBP with 2 GB of RAM which is running Lion quite happily.

  • OS X Lion - intel core duo

    HI
    Sorry for posting this but I am not the most technically minded.
    I have a mac mini running Mac OS X (10.6.7), 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo  - 2 GB.
    Apple state Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 or Xeon processor to run Lion.
    Is Intel Core Duo different to Intel Core 2 Duo, therfore I will be unable to upgrade past the Snow Leopard version I am currently running.
    thanks

    OK, I may have a solution. It worked only in Developer Previews on Core Duos, but since it just tricks the installer and you now have a Core2Duo it should work...
    Use the same method as there. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1107457
    You should do this manipulation on the installation disk image of Lion, just check how to extract it from the installer.
    Use this to extract the disk image: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPXe0HeD-cY&feature
    Copy InstallESD.dmg to your desktop mount it and do the workaround I just mentioned (delete the .plist file, see the first link) on the image... Then, just burn the image to a DVD or to a external drive or USB-Stick (follow the instructions in the video I just mentioned)
    Finally, on the DVD or drive you just created, click on the Lion Installer once it is mounted in the Finder and try to install it. This should work.
    Try this workaround instead of the one I mentioned before (the one with the hard drive cloning) and backup your data instead it doesn't work, so you can still go back to Snow Leopard.
    Can you please notify me if it works, because my sister has an old mini too, so if it works I may take it apart and put a Core2Duo in it and to the same trick too. I'm waiting for feedback, since i don't want to buy a processor if this doesn't work...

  • I'M MAD! Majority of games/apps require 2 GHz Intel Core Duo...D:

    So to start off, I have a Mac OS X 10.6.8
         Processor 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
             Memory     2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    What I want:
         To be able to play games/apps
    "Why can't you?"
         Because they require 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
    So my question is:
         IS THERE A WAY I CAN UPGRADE TO A 2 GHz INTEL CORE DUO???
         ...it makes me frustrated that I have the required OS version yet I still can't play games or use simple apps because of my stupid processor...
    What I've already tried (so don't suggest this):
    Wine (so that I can open windows required games)
    Updating all my software
    Getting rid of unwanted files
    Downloading X11 (to run Wine)
    Watched tons of tutorials on downloading desired games/apps correctly
    EVEN BUYING A NEW COMPUTER (this one)
    Repeating the above tactics on my new computer
         What. must. I. Do. Please tell me !!

I can't even download most apps in the App Store that are specifically in the 10.6.8 category .-.
    Get a PC.  They are the best gaming machines on the planet.  Macs are not gaming comps. 

  • How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

    How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

    Try calling 1-800-676-2775.  Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk).  *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
    If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
    Have you considered Snow Leopard?.  Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

  • I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo   what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

    I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo   what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

    You can check to see if yours meets the system requirements for Snow Leopard - that would be the highest; Lion will not run on your machine.
    Please note that the minimum 1 GB RAM is a minimum - 2 GB would be better.

    You can buy it at the Apple Store, other online resellers, or ebay (but be careful there to only bid on a new retail shrinkwrapped package to you don't get suckered into a used install disk which won't work on other machines).

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion. 
    Computer Compatibility - Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
