Title says it all, I own one on Lion 10.7, plan on trying out Mountain Lion, but if Mavericks is worth running I'll give that a go. This is my main desktop computer, so functionality is desired. I hear that graphics acceleration doesn't work, but what does this mean? Does it just not load certain videos or is it that the GPU can't process the UI at all making it choppy? I'd like a semi smooth experience on my computer, but if it's only a slight performance decrease from Lion then it's fine. i can't find any real videos of anything besides Yosemite running on the 2007 Mini, and ignoring the sh***y preformance, I just plain don't like the new UI. Support isn't a big issue for me since all my devices have and still run iOS 6. I was just curious how it ran.
My specs are as follows:
2.0Ghz C2D
2GB of ram (planned upgrade to 4GB erm um 3.2GB *cough cough*)
160GB HDD but I plan on throwing in an SSD

tl;dr: I own a 2007 Mac Mini, How does Mavericks run on yours, what's broken, and what are your current specs?
