3-400 will get you something that will be great for another 3-4 years at least, especially if you buy the newest used machine you can find(2011 macbook pro 13s are getting quite cheap, for instance). That doesn't have to be a wildly expensive machine though. But know that your upgrade path, at this point, is 'buy a new machine'. If it does what you want, keep using it as it is. I not only think this machine isn't worth upgrading hardware wise from a monetary standpoint, but it's also impossible to do what you want with it.įor what it's worth, i still use a 2007 imac as my desktop. For another $150, you could get a much newer mac that will officially run yosemite and be a lot nicer(2010 unibody white macbook, 2009 13in macbook pro, hell i've seen several 2009 15 inchers go for that much). My laptop is working fine and I have no plans to buy a new computer unless I absolutely have to. The CPU is soldered in on the macbook pro. This sort of hackery worked on imacs with socketed CPUs you could swap.

There is no hack for this, the above solutions mentioned are for the weird 32 bit EFI/64 bit CPU machines.

There is no way to install yosemite, or even mavericks, since it has a 64 bit kernel. Note that the core duo 'yonah' CPU in these machines is not a 64 bit chip. I wouldn't spend money on(now overpriced) DDR2. That model truly, not just spec sheet as with some macs, maxes out at 2gb of ram. The newer/later versions of OSX, starting with lion, either sucked(lion), or were optimized for SSDs and newer hardware. I'm speaking from experience with lots of similar hardware. You don't want to install a newer OS on this machine.

If so, what would that be? Here’s the underside of my laptop and here's where I assume I switch out the memory (please correct me if I am wrong).Īlso, I have Microsoft Office:Mac 2011 and do not want to have to buy an upgrade. Would the 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.8V 256Meg x 64 Soooo, if I buy some memory from Crucial I’ll be able to install it myself and everything will be dandy, right? When I enter my model I get these recommendations.

I’d like to update to Yosemite and it looks like I need 2 GB of memory and 8 GB of available storage.

My hard drive capacity is 79.68 GB with 38.76 GB available storage. I’m running OS X 10.6.8, processor is 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, and memory is 1.5 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. However, I can no longer upgrade the OS, which is starting to be a problem.
