MacPostFactor also supports installing OSX versions up to OSX 10.10 Yosemite on older Macs. MLPostFactor has been succeeded/replaced by MacPostFactor, and is now being updated by a new crew of programmers. I read somewhere that it is possible to install the latest version of OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion on my Mac, even though the official installer refuses to install. MacPostFactor (MCPF) also supports installing OSX versions up to OSX 10.10 Yosemite on older Macs.
