Will my computer take Lion
Hi, I would like to update Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5. I just learnt my Version 10.6.8 Mac 13" 5.2, wont take the upgrade of Lightroom 5, as I need either 10.7 or 10.8 OSX. I have been quite happy with Snow Leopard and dont't really want a dramatic change or disruption to a perfectly working system. However, I thought Lion might be the go. Will my computer take either Lion or Mountain Lion? What other suggestions if I can't change? Or if I need to upgrade what to do? And any other advice about the details appreciated. Thanks
Here are my computer details
