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 dont know if a 2.4 GHZ Core 2 duo with 2GB of RAM and a mid 2010 model of my Macbook will run smoothly with Mac OS X Lion. Can anybody help make my decision either i should upgrade from snow leopard to lion?

My advice... DO NOT BUY.... otherwise you will be like me... frustrated and horrified.... 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.

  • Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz

    Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
    I am using os x 10.4.11.
    Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
    Thanks...

    Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

  • I have  a old 2006 modle macbook 15 inch the  A1150 i believe with core duo processor can change or replace that with a intel core duo 2 processor ?

    it,s a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo
    memory 2 GB 533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    is there some kind of way i can  upgrade that to a Intel Core Duo 2 processor
    or is it  just a batle i cant win ?

    You should be able to get a used or repaired MacBook 13/15-inch core2duo 2.0+GHz near
    $350 or so, in working condition with some kind of limited warranty or guaranty. Companies
    like macsales, wegenermedia, powerbookmedic, powermax and others offer previously
    owned Macs that are not current models. Older, to vintage or obsolete; those who some-
    times have the better deal on those also can repair most all Macs and have parts.
    The effort to swap out a logic board (and then what? the
    other parts likely won't match) isn't hardly worth the effort.
    You may be able to find an early MacBook (circa 2006 to 2010 era) that needs minor work,
    and troubleshoot/repair it with a DIY guide online... But that can be a gamble if you mess
    up things that were not wrong in the first place, while learning on the job. It could cost plenty.
    Some companies can sell you used parts, no guarantees on matching an incorrect logic
    board with a diffferent build model spec computer's other original configuration. You'd do
    better if you found someone selling their old MacBook Core2Duo, nearby, & could see it run.
    I have a MacBook 13-inch coreduo 1.83GHz first-edition; an early core2duo won't do much
    more than the coreduo. Snow Leopard is better than Lion in several ways; if you have older
    software you already own that works, from the PowerPC era -- that can save you money.
    Good luck in any event, & happy computing!

  • Old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo) camera not working with Mavericks

    I have an old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, I think 2007), builtin camera not working and I think it is related to mavericks update.
    Anyone had the same problem, and if yes what is the solusion?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • I have a MacBook Pro that has an Intel Core Duo Processor but to upgrade to Lion OS X I need an Intel Core2 Duo. Can I upgrade?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8 but want to upgrade to Lion. My Mac that has an Intel Core Duo Processor (I know really outdated huh) but to upgrade to Lion OS X I need an Intel Core2 Duo. Can I upgrade or will it mess it up?

    It actually shouldn't allow you to upgrade. Your configuration should be detected and then it should reject your attempt to upgrade.

  • I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo, what is possible with Lion

    I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo,  is that possible to operate Lion with this iMac

    Here is the information about  downloading Lion when it is released in July.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
    If you don't meet these requirements, as of now, you wouldn't be able to run Lion.  If anything changes, I am sure Apple will let us know.

  • Will FCP X work on an iMac with an Intel Core Duo processor?

    FCP X requirements are for a 64bit processor.
    The Intel Core Duo is 32bit, so does that mean FCP X will not work at all on it?
    Or will it work but with reduced performance capabilities?

    I checked it on the oldest IMac I have. Seems to work so far .....

  • Not sure where to place my SSD and HDD. Macbook Pro mid 2010, 2,4GHz intel core 2 duo.

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo,
    10gb of Ram...looking to max it at 16 even though apple says 8gb.
    I upgraded to a Travelstar 1tb HDD 7200rpm max 6gb/s and waiting for my data doubler from OWC.
    I am also hoping to buy an SSD. But Where should I place the HDD and SSD?
    I read a forum saying that since my MBP is 2010, my HDD should stay in the main bay, and the SSD in the optical drive due to gb/s or somthing?
    Can anyone clarify?
    I thought SSD would be better in the main bay and HDD in the optical.
    I am thinking of getting the Samsung pro SSD 120gb? or the 228gb?
    Thank you

    For best performance place the "system disk" in the internal slot and the second disk in the optical bay.  I assume your SSD will be your system disk.

  • New scanner won't work with G5, Intel Core Duo

    I bought a Brother MFC 420cn all-in-one. The printer/copier works great, but I can't get the scanner to work with the Mac. The scanner driver comes with a bundled software "Presto Page Manager 4.0," made by New Soft, Inc. New Soft blames Apple for their new Intel products. They told me to contact Brother. Brother doesn't have an update that works with the new Intel Mac. Apple doesn't have a solution. I've spent hours being kicked around, and nobody has a solution. How can I get this scanner to work with my Mac? Anybody else out there have this problem concerning compatibility problems with the new Intel Macs and periferal hardware/software out there?

    Hi Hefdog,
    Considering what I presume are fairly radical differences in the architecture of the new Intel Macs, it is amazing how well most things work. And since the Intel machines are obviously here to stay, I guess it’s only a matter of time before all vendors provide compatible drivers etc.
    Have you tried to run your new scanner from Photoshop? I found the ‘Acquire’ function worked, even before installing other drivers. And you’re not missing much in Presto Page Manager, unless it’s been improved considerably since an earlier version!

  • Canon Optura 600 - work with the Intel Core Duo?

    I am thinking of investing in a Canon Optura 600 miniDV camcorder. Does anyone know if this will be compatible or not with the new intel range?
    I am planning on buying the 20" iMac later this year, when more software has been ported over, but I want to buy a miniDV camcorder at the moment.
    Does anyone know if this model is compatible?
    Thanks in advance guys!!!
    sunomata.

    I have a Canon Optura 400, and it works just fine
    with my iMac G5. I see no reason why anything in the
    Optura line would not work with the new iMac. I was
    at the Apple Store at the Mall of America the other
    day, and they were giving a demonstration of the new
    iMac (specifically iLife 06), and the presenter was
    demonstrating the use of a Canon MiniDV camera with
    iMovie. I did not notice which model she was using,
    but suffice it to say that Canon has an excellent
    reputation of working well within a Mac environment.
    Thanks very much!
    How do you rate the Optura 400 as a camcorder?
    Do you recommend me buying it?
    I have had my eye on it for a while now and was wondering if that was the best of the affordable Canon range.
    I think I will buy it now, but I was wondering what your thoughts on your camcorder are. Pros? Cons?
    Thanks again,
    sunomata.

  • I have an IMac4,1 intel Core Duo 1.83 GHz 667 MHz purchased in Feb. 2006. Can I use 4GB (2x2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop memory

    That memory specification is correct, but the maximum memory configuration for your iMac is 2 GB.

  • Intel Core Duo 2.26 GHz Core Running At 100 Degrees Centigrade

    Forgive me if this is in the wrong section.
    I purchased a 13" MacBook Pro back in April. I've suddenly noticed that the CPU is getting entirely hot. I mean really hot, to the point where this thing might burst in flames.
    Often, I have over 50% of CPU availability, so I know it's not the CPU working "too" hard. I have installed an app which has measured the core temperature at 100 degrees centigrade. I know this can't be normal.
    I'm coping right now thanks to an application called smcFanControl (which is bringing fan speeds to 4000rpm), but if I'm out and about I cannot have this fan running that fast or I'll be out of battery in less than an hour.
    Any thoughts, suggestions?
    Message was edited by: groomlake

    Computers run hot when they are doing work.
    Your computer has a series of temp sensors that will shut it off when it exceeds the maximum operating temperature, this is called an overtemp. 100 degrees C is hot, but without the use of SMCfancontrol do your fans kick up automatically?
    Oh, and 100 degrees is not going to cause your computer to burst into flames, I promise.
    In Activity Monitor, what apps are taking up CPU power? Sometimes you can have a software problem causing some process to go nuts and it isn't at all hardware related.
    Other times, your SMC settings (system management controller -- chip on your logic board that controls power, fan speed, and many other things) can become corrupt in which case your fans may not spin up as needed.
    You can reset your SMC and retest, see if that helps. If it is a MBP with an integrated battery, do the following:
    Power off the computer, plug in to wall power.
    Press Shift + Control + Option + Power Button, for a second or two and release them all at once. If your battery wasn't fully charged, you'll see the magsafe light go from orange to green and back to orange. Then power back up and retest.
