My MBP 2.4ghz c2d it's still a nice machine with years left in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetonesun Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nice, I really need to reinstall the OS on my MBP as SL is doing all sorts of wrong things lately, and I'd like to hold off for Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MBP 2.4ghz c2d it's still a nice machine with years left in the tank. It was only the first Dual 2 Core processors they used that didn't support x64 instructions or something like that lol. I've been running DP4 on the 2.4 c2d and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Core 2 Duo = Supported Core Duo/Core Solo = Not supported Exactly. People really need to start reading Apple's website. It says nothing about only certain Core 2 Duo processors being support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BletchleyPark Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 What are the final spec requirements? From Apple: Ensure you are using a 64-bit, Intel-based Mac running either Mac OS X v10.6.7 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 4. You must have at least 8GB of free disc space to install Mac OS X Lion GM Seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlintyV Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 So that pretty much confirms that App Store is the only way of getting Lion and no clean-install option exists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKenndac Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 So that pretty much confirms that App Store is the only way of getting Lion and no clean-install option exists? I guess you missed the part where Apple announced about a month ago that the App Store was the only way to get Lion? That's not the same as "No clean install option" - you just need to make your own boot disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted July 1, 2011 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) So that pretty much confirms that App Store is the only way of getting Lion and no clean-install option exists?

0sit0 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 So that pretty much confirms that App Store is the only way of getting Lion and no clean-install option exists? Well yes, download it... extract the file, burn it to a DVD and you can have a clean install. (I hope this hasn't changed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitmz Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 ^ nope, thats still the way to do it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetonesun Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Well yes, download it... extract the file, burn it to a DVD and you can have a clean install. (I hope this hasn't changed) Or copy it to a thumb drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlintyV Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 So we're expecting the Lion burned dvd/thumb to be bootable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 So we're expecting the Lion burned dvd/thumb to be bootable? It's definitely bootable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKenndac Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 So we're expecting the Lion burned dvd/thumb to be bootable? Obviously not if you just copy the installer application to a DVD/drive. Google for instructions - it's dead simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
