There are NO "issues" with upgrading this machine to Mountain Lion, as it's what it ships with today. The machines are identical.
You truly have NO idea what you're talking about here, sorry.

Funny, I run the same hardware in the workstation I'm on now. And I also installed and ran "hackintosh" completely flawlessly on this system for a long time... aside from the motherboard...
Asus Z8NA-D6C
Dual Intel E5620 cpus
12 GB DDR 1333 ECC Registered Ram
I forget what gpu I was running at the time, but it may have been the one I still run which is an MSI N560GTX-Ti... or it may have been an older 9800. Can't recall anymore.
I spent a LOT of time in the "hackintosh" game. And sometimes I still consider going back, but to be completely honest, I can't stand Finder... even with the "Total Finder" (or w/e it was called) addon...
I've done the research... I spent weeks comparing the true differences. Have you? I doubt it.. all you likely did was read the brochure.
Nothing has really changed in the 3 years since I took the time to sit down and research the shit out of both sides of the fence... well, aside from performance specs.
