Best Answer:
No, as your graphics chip is sadly incompatible with Mountain Lion (despite only requiring a driver or two, but that's apple for you). I believe there is also an issue with the BIOS, or the computer firmware, not being compatible as well. My mid-2007 Black Macbook suffers from this premature death as well, but Lion is still great. I recommend maxing out your ram (6GB Maximum, 4GB supported by Apple) and installing an SSD to make your machine lightning quick. LONG LIVE THE WHITE MACBOOK! Hope I helped you out.

Can a 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo be upgraded to meet requirements for OS X Lion 10.7?
The current medical billing company utilized by the company I contract with can only be utilized with the newest upgrade for Java (Java 7) making Java 6 obsolete. Java 7 can only be downloaded with and Intel Core 2 or other processors I have the above listed processor. If I can not access the medical billing software and/or Java 7 my current laptop would be useless for my employment. Please advise.

AnswerUnless its desktop counterpart (the Mac mini) from that generation, the processor in your MacBook cannot be upgraded. There are methods of installing Lion on unsupported Intel Core Duo Macs, however these installations are unofficial and aren't recommended (not to mention not supported) by Apple.

will installing lion remove el capitan

Answeryes, installing lion will remove el capitan. i dont recommend going about this by yourself, because if you dont know what youre doing, then you will encounter problems. I did this same thing as well. I wanted to go from yosemite to lion because i couldnt stand yosemite. I did it myself and I encountered many problems. I almost had to have my hard drive replaced. so i went to the apple store and they did it for me. but yes, downgrading is possible but risky.
Make sure you have a backup of everything on an external hard drive or usb.
(I recommend external hard drives like My Passport which can hold up to almost one terabyte, which is more than enough space)
I hope this was of some help to you :)- Answered by Yasmine P from Burnaby
