Apple has confirmed which Mac systems will be compatible with the fast-approaching OS X Mountain Lion upgrade, and it’s bad news if you’re running a MacBook dating back to before 2007 or a Mac mini from before 2009. With each iteration of OS X there’s always a list of machines that have been left behind, and Mountain Lion is no different, though Apple has not given any specific indication as to why older systems don’t meet the grade.
The suspicion over at Ars Technica, however, is that graphics on select 64-bit systems are what’s causing the issue. According to the Golden Master seed of Mountain Lion, released earlier this week, the older machines now out of the big cat loop rely on 32-bit GPU drivers, and the new OS X version won’t load them.

Me personally, I'm still running OS X Lion, and I don't have any intentions of upgrading. What really made me pause and think was when I found out that Mountain Lion isn't any faster than Lion. Also, many new users of Mountain Lion have said their battery life dropped after upgrading to Mountain Lion. Furthermore, I would like to wait until all my apps on Lion have a Mountain Lion update and are fully compatible with Mountain Lion. Usually, when my IRC program is Mountain Lion certified on their web site, then I'll know it's time to upgrade. However, like with Lion, that could be six months to a year. Alas, I'm afraid I will have to wait on upgrading to Mountain Lion. :)reply - beach bum 2012/07/12 08:24:36Undecidedi don't have onereply
