Upgraded Late 2006 MBP to Lion, so far so good
Decided to keep my late 2006 MBP and upgraded the hard drive to 500GB 7200 rpm. I figured what the heck, so far the heart transplant took for both my iMac and Mac Mini and decided to TM backup the drive on my MBP and take the plunge to Lion. If it doesn't "take," I'll restore my previous OS. Appears to be running smoothly under the 2.33 Core Duo 2, fingers crossed. Still giving the old girl a shakedown as far as running Aperture 3, Photoshop Elements and Corel Painter 11, but I since I run these more frequently on the iMac as long as I can still perform the day-to-day menial tasks and the occasional photo work on the MBP I can be happy with that. Bootup time to login screen slighly clocked in at under 30 seconds, but I was impressed with the fact that I'm up and running without waiting for everything to load up on my screen.
Just curious if anyone else had taken the jump on their older Core Duo 2 machines and if so, please post and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
