I want to install yosemite, however.....

I have read here that many have been able to successfully upgrade to mavericks and/or Yosemite on unsupported macs using a special method.

I have seen these guides list the minimum requirements for a macbook from late 2006 (2,1)

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1761432/

does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade an early 2006 (1,1) or am i SOL?

thanks

Yes, you can if you follow our guide in the link you described or on our site.
Please note it may be unstable.

No, this CPU cannot run Yosemite. It's a 32-bit Core Duo, not a Core 2 Duo. Also, your link doesn't work; the site has been suspended.

Ahh, I see. I mistaken it for a Core 2 Duo. Sorry Gramps416, but it needs to support OS X 10.7 Lion to be capable of using this guide.; Also for reference, that site was reset to different server. High CPU Usage are common right now :D

my number one concern was security. not receiving updates anymore, i don't know if it is safe to use or not. If something was wrong with 10.6, i suppose we wouldn't know about it
