Mountain Lion performance on Core 2 Duo?

[zarusoba]

Hello,

I'm still running Snow Leopard on my Core 2 Duo iMac 4GB RAM.

Anyone running Mountain Lion on a similar setup?

Runs great on my 2010 MBP 4GB C2D (I'm running a Vertex 2 SSD though)

Running it on my 2009 20.5" 4 GB C2D with no problems. Runs even better than Lion.

runs smoother than lion on my 2010 mpb. It's as smooth as snow leopard was. the new features are worth the upgrade

Someone with C2D and 2GB of ram? I can not upgrade my Macbook air ram so it would be great to know from others with the same specs

I am running ML on my 2007 iMac 2.8, 2GB of ram. Runs great, even better than lion.

2.0GHz Core 2 Duo with 8GB or RAM. Runs almost as smoothly and quickly as Snow Leopard, and ever so much better than Lion.

2.4 ghz core 2 duo, 4 GB ram (2010 13" mbp, no modifications)

mountain lion runs well so far.
came from snow leopard and can't really tell any difference in speed or such (not faster or slower or more memory hog or such)

I recommend mountain lion. The new features are fun to play with.

Go for it 🙂

Had it since launch day on mine and pretty pleased with it on the whole.

Its not massively better than Lion feature wise but it does seem a bit faster... definitely better than the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion speed/stability wise.

Will probably be updating the other MacBooks this weekend.

For the record I did it as a clean install and then restored from Time Machine

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

Looks like it's time to take the plunge!
