Upgrading to Lion

It Will

Hello

I have a mid 2007 iMac with a 2.4GHz C2D, 2GB RAM, 1TB HD, 256 Graphics running OS X 10.6.8, I was wondering if I were to upgrade to Lion would it slow down the computer at all?

Regards

A little....You might want to consider increasing your RAM....Up to 4GB, 8 if you can stretch to it.

Your specs are very similar to mine. I have 2.4GHz C2D, 8GB RAM, and 256MB nVidia 320m graphics and my computing experience in Lion is superb. I must mention that I have a solid-state drive as well, which probably helps as well. You can already run Lion on your machine now (2GB RAM and C2D requirement), but I'd recommend a RAM upgrade to enhance your experience. At least 4GB for a good experience.

yes. 2 GB ram is not enough for Lion in my opinion.

As others posted, you'll probably incur some performance degradation, max out your ram, or least as much as you can afford

This iMac maxes out at 6 GB RAM. I'd not settle for less than 4 GB, and I would consider 6 GB. Lion loves RAM.

I'm running Lion with those same specs but with 4gb RAM and it works fine.

I agree with the others...you should be able to run Lion fine, but I would upgrade to 4GB of RAM. Otherwise it just won't run as smoothly as it should.
