I have a 2006 Dual core Duo MacBook. It is fast enough to do basic photo editing on tehthe go, as my job requires, however I would like to install Lion, to bring it inlinein line with my workstation and devices.

This would mean I need a new processor, minimum Dual Core 2 Duo (as required by Lion), although I would rather install an i3 or i5.

Is this at all possible?
