MacBook 3.1 (Late 2007) Mt. Lion or Mavericks Upgrade
I've read a bunch of post of people asking this and saw on Apple's site that the 3.1 MacBook isn't compatible, but I was really wondering why. As far as I can tell, it should be able to run both (once I upgrade my RAM at least which I was planning on doing anyway). It's a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (which I believe is 64-bit so that should be good) 160GB hard drive with ~140GB free, and 2GB 667 MHz RAM at the moment but I'm going to max it out to 4 once I get the money. I just did a clean install with the original discs and upgraded to SL earlier this week and it runs beautfully.
So basically my question is, why isn't the 3.1 MacBook supported for either Mountain Lion or Mavericks? I know my MacBook would be the very minimum requirement for RAM, but I'm pretty sure 4 GB was an option at that time and that should be plenty. Did Apple purposely not include this model for some reason or is the processor just not good enough or something? And if it was on purpose, does anyone think Apple will decide to support it eventually? I'm really curious because I would like to upgrade at some point considering SL is the minimum requirement for a lot of things, like Flash and the App store.
