    OS X 10.10. Yosemite system requirements:

    2GB RAM is inadequate.

    OS X Yosemite works well with 8GB RAM installed.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.

     

    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.

     

    • MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    • MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher

     

    Your Mac needs:

    • OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    • 2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    • 8 GB or more of available space

                     

    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
