As someone running Mac OS on non Apple hardware, I can tell you that there is really no better software than Mac OS X itself. Either sell your MacBook and get a new or refurbished or used MacBook (or Pro or Air) that is supported by OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and maybe even OS X 10.9 (which might drop support for Core 2 Duo machines and require an i3 or i5 or i7 CPU anyway). Maintenance Program For Os X 10.6.8 6 8 Downloadīasic Troubleshooting & Maintenance Tips for beginners and advanced usersīut if the MacBook of yours does not run OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, it will not be able to run OS X 10.9 and the following OS versions.The original Macbook only goes to 10.6.8, the rest go to 10.7 except the aluminum macbook and white unibodies can go.

It depends what macbook you have for which OS you can download.
