Q: Why can't I upgrade my MacBook early 2008 to Mavericks (or anything past Lion)?

Would installing more RAM help at all? Or, anything else?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

You can see what OS you can put on your computer with an application that called xScan on Mac App Store. I think is totally free.

We already know which version of OSX can be installed, the OP asked why that is.

Please read the post before answering, you are making a habit of these irrelevant replies today.

Try to find out how much something costs before you post, don't guess.
