Can I run Lightroom on a PC with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU?

The specs for Lightroom state that you need a Pentium 4 processor.  My PC has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 2.2Ghz.  Is this sufficient?
Thanks.

Hi vc10,
You can install Lightroom on Core 2  Duo Processor.
P4 processor is the minimum system requirement for it.

  • HT201364 I'm currently running OS-10.6.8 on my IMAC with an Intel Core 2 duo and would like to update to at lease 10.7

    I'm currently running OS-10.6.8 on my IMAC with an Intel Core 2 duo and would like to update to at lease 10.7. Can this be done and if so how?

    Only if you cannot upgrade to Mavericks.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,

  • Can OS X Snow Leopard be installed on a MacBook Pro5, 5 with an Intel Core 2 Duo?

    This question may already exist somewhere in the support community, but if it is there I have missed it. If not, then here it is for myself and those of this specific inquiry.
    I have a MacBook Pro bought in mid-2009, Model MacBookPro5, 5, with an Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, and approximately 140 GB of HD space, which meets the stated requirements for Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks. It is currently running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, and I am trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard, or, if possible, Mavericks. I have the Snow Leopard CD, and have tried to install it. However, I get the error message "OS X Can't be installed on this computer". I have tried it from my current OS and by booting directly from the CD. I do not have any partitions, and have backed up and erased the existing Macintosh HD volume, but the error message continues.
    Can anyone shed some light into what is the issue? If so, much appreciated in advance.

    Remousamavi,
    yes, the MacBookPro5,5 (13-inch Mid 2009 MacBook Pro) can run Snow Leopard. In fact, there were two varieties of model-specific grey installation DVDs for that model MacBook Pro: one had Leopard 10.5.7, and the other had Snow Leopard 10.6. (The “Apple disc ID” of the latter is 2Z691-6533-A.)
    Do you have the white “upgrade” 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD, or the white “install” 10.6.3 Snow Leopard DVD? If you have the “upgrade” DVD, then it won’t let you install onto an empty partition; you’ll need to have Snow Leopard installed on your boot disk before it will install the upgrade.
    Once you’ve got Snow Leopard installed and updated via Software Update to 10.6.8, you’ll be able to install Mavericks.

    Mac OS X 10.7.5, which requires getting a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store and a download code for 10.7 by phoning them.

  • I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

    I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

    I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-20-inch-sp ecs.html
    (You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)

  • I have a MacBook Air with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Will it run Lion?

    Yes, if it has at least 2 GBs of installed RAM.

  • When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

    When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?

    Hi,
    apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
    Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
    Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
    The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
    Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
    Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
    And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
    And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
    The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
    Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
    Regards
    Stefan

    please tell which version of OSX 10.6 can be install in the above imac

    First please don't post your serial number in a public.  You should be able to install Mac OS X 10.6 on your system.  The DVD you are using must be the original that came with the computer before it will work.  What version of Mac OS X do you have on your system.  I am thinking it is a higher version then 10.6.2.

  • Is my MacBook (mid 2010) with an Intel Core 2 Duo (2.4 GHZ) with 2GB of Ram going to run smoothly when I purchase OS X Lion?

I am suffering .... and im the last person to be on such discussion forum... but now I am here... you may be able to guage my furstration. Snow Leapord is zillion times better than Lion... they should call it pu**y instead of lion.

  • Can I run logic pro x on iMac 2.8Ghz core 2 duo, 4GB RAM?

    I currently run Logic Pro 9 (9.1.8) on my iMac (early 2008 model as above) but really like the look of pro x features, will it run on my iMac?

  • Can Macbook 4,1 (early 2008) 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo be upgraded to Mountain Lion?

    I just upgraded to 4GB of memory after reading somewhere that the Macbook Model Identifier "4,1" can be upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I was surprised to read under 'how to upgrade to Mountain Lion' that Macbook's (Late 2008) are upgradable.  Aside from this upgrade being less expensive than buying a new Mac, my current Macbook runs perfectly after five years, or I wouldn't be considering an upgrade to the OS.  I've been told that Snow Leopard is the last truly solid OS from Apple, and I just got an iPhone 5 that would be more compatible with Mountain Lion.  Final note, the site that stated "4,1" is upgradable also stated that while Apple states maximum memory is 4GB, that in fact it can be maxed out at 6GB.  Optimistic until advised otherwise.
    Any input is much appreciated. 
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    OS X Mountain Lion requires a Late 2008 Aluminum or Early 2009 MacBook or later, so you can't install Mountain Lion in your Mac. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
    It doesn't mind that your computer is useless, because Snow Leopard is still supported and Apple updates Snow Leopard, so if you are happy with Snow Leopard, continue using that version. A lot of people say that Lion doesn't work properly with old computers, but Mountain Lion fixed most of its issues. Apart from that, the iPhone 5 is compatible with Snow Leopard in the same way as with Mountain Lion, so don't worry about that

  • Can I have 3 GB of RAM in my Intel Core 2 Duo ..or does it have to be even?

    I'm on a MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHZ. I upgraded one Ram slot to 2GB and kept the other one at 1GB (as per Tekserve's NYC doing). Now I get a very active pinwheel and very very slow startups. I heard that you have to have even (1 and 1 or 2 and 2) SRAM. Could this be what's effecting my computers performance, or is having 3GB just fine. Thanks in advance.

    No you would need to take them out to see who the manufacturer is, it's incredibly easy to do though. Just locate your manual and you will see, if you cannot find your manual it is online at Apple's site:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#imac
    The lengthy start up could be caused by several things one thing to try is a SMC and PRAM reset, the instructions for that are:
    1. Turn off your iMac and unplug everything from it for 30 seconds.
    2. Plug in the power cord, keyboard and mouse only.
    3. Press the power button and immediately hold down the Option, Command, P & R keys until you hear the second gong then release the keys. Your machine will start up normally, then check for the issues you are having.
