Now you know there’s a new Mac OS X on the block, I guess you’re wondering, is it compatible with your Mac?

If you bought a new Mac preinstalled with Mac OS X Lion, this shouldn’t be much of an issue. But if you’re Mac’s kinda old, say pre-Intel Core era, this is a valid concern.

So, which Macs are OS X Mountain Lion-friendly and which aren’t?

Here is the short list of Macs that are reportedly incompatible with OS X Mountain Lion due to its higher graphics requirements:

• Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook from late 2007 – late 2008 (Model Numbers: MB061*/B, MB062*/B, MB063*/B, MB402*/A MB403*/A MB404*/A, MB402*/B)
• Mid-2007 Mac mini (Model Numbers: MB138*/A, MB139*/A)
• Late 2006 polycarbonate iMac (Model Number: MA710xx/A)
• Original early 2008 MacBook Air (Model Number: MB003LL/A)

So, are you in or out of luck with Mac OS 10.8?

Or it doesn’t really matter ’cause you’re happy with Lion already, and more than willing to skip this upgrade?
