Thanks a lot for this info. I know I'm stretching the limits with Mountain lion but read that it can take it so thought what the heck and installed it, if I have any problems I will go back to Lion. I inicially struggled quite a lot when I formatted the hard drive to install a fresh OS. During the fresh install the process freezed up a few times and I had to start everything all over again, this is where I thought there must be something wrong someware with the hardware. I first tried 10.8 a few times and also thought this caused the freez up, then tried 10.7 but it also kept freezing, then finally yesterday I somehow got 10.8 to completely install
