I attempted to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion and got a message that my 17" MacBrook Pro (A1212) wasn’t upgradeable because of hardware restrictions. I have 3GB SDRAM, & 840GB of available space on the HD, but “only” a 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo. Id there any way to upgrade this device so that the this and future releases of OS X can be used? JJ
NO - processors in laptops are soldered to the logic board. If this answer was helpful please remember to mark it accepted.
No way! Only upgrade cpu could it be!
