not possible with this machine. like I stated in my initial email, its an older mac (specifically its a late 2007 white book). it won't even upgrade to mt. lion. I really wish apple would quit trying to make us upgrade hardware, when some of the old hardware still works. I wish I had the funds for a newer machine, but I am stuck with whatever I get a month and 90% of that goes to pay the rent and utils here. what's left goes to take care of a long term loan on some access tech.
