Will Airplay via Mountain Lion work on 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (mid 2007) iMac

One of the main reasons I would purchase OS X Moutain Lion is for its AirPlay feature, in particular to stream Hulu from my iMac to my Apple TV 2. In reading some of the preliminary reviews of Moutain Lion, AirPlay is not supported on older MacBook Pro's. Will it work on my mid 2007 iMac (model identifier: iMac7,1) running a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM?

I'm currently running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53).

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

No. It's not compatible with Airplay Mirroring. Only 2011 and newer Macs are.

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

Came across your message while looking for the same issue. In related news, Hulu is now on Apple TV properly...
