I'm sure that everyone's heard of Mac OS Lion, though I agree with Gizmodo that the OS isn't all that great as Apple thought it would be. However, all the proud Apple Owners (I do have a macbook) will soon be upgrading to it.
But this time around apple has cut out any Macbooks that are running Core Duo processors for some reason (probably for the best, as apple attempts to save us from slow processors, and make this world a better place). Before I continue Core Duo and Core 2 Duo are two very separate processors.
A friend of mine owns one of these great Macbook Pros running Core Duo, and was wanting to upgrade but couldn't due to it's hardware limitations. As much as I'd love to help him run Lion on his macbook I can't and I wouldn't advice it.In essence, the new OS runs the "Finder App" as 64 bit only as of the last release. So to say you could bypass all the restrictions by following the instructions at OS X Daily, the finder app wouldn't work, which in case you didn't realize would be a big bummer. It's like using Windows with explorer :/

But I have Alfred, so can I still follow the instructions at OS X Daily and use Alfred?
Could you? yes, but I would really advice against it, as there is a strong possibility that something "weird" might happen. Such as extremely slow system, or maybe even a crash. If anything I'd wait a month or so and see if there's a more viable solution yet aka someone has found a better hack for the system.
