The new OS X is released. Apple has really made the Operating System interesting but many people including me are not able to upgrade the Operating System in MAC Book having inadequate knowledge about the system requirements. Many people have filed complaints that Yosemite lags on their system. If this problem keeps on occurring, many people will give up on upgrading their Operating System due lack of fulfillment of System Requirements. Therefore, I want to know, what are the system requirements for the Operating System X Yosemite? I would also like to know if OS X Yosemite would work on an age old Mac Book.
