Hey.
I have a 2006 Black Macbook, and its perfectly fine, it runs OS X Snow Leopard and I want to buy the new Lion OS X. I heard in the keynote that you would need at least 4 GB available to download it. I checked my memory and it said I had available 70.33 GB, so I tried to download but it said I had to have at least 2 GB of memory! What's wrong?
Thanks!

You are confusing storage (your hard drive) with Ram (memory) you have 70.33GB of storage but less than 2GB of Ram. You need to buy more Ram

Oh! I didn't quite understand that, but THNKS!
Go here: OWC and buy 2 x 1G or 2 x 2G chips and you'll be fine (I recommend 2 x 2G)
assuming you're in the USA.
We need to know which model you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac,then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier. Then post that information back here. This is because there are two 2006 models. The 2,1 can run Lion but the 1,1 cannot.
Hi,
Memory (or RAM) is what is used by open applications and that kind of thing and it is erased when you shut down your computer.
Disk space (hard drive) is where the pictures, documents, videos, etc is stored.
Your RAM is smaller than your hard drive because it's more expensive.
If you want more about each, you can just use google. Good Luck!
