2GHz processors have fallen out of date around now IMO, 2.5+ GHz is barely standard now, hardware upcycles every 6 - 12 months. If you decide to get a new laptop/PC go for 3GHz+, your RAM is plenty, but processor is poop, graphics card pretty old to.– DominicCommented Jun 22, 2013 at 23:30

Hey Starkers, this question has more to do with tech support than it does Graphic Design, so I've gotta close it. However, you answered your own question: CS6 has enforced hardware limitations.

I don't think you have enough video memory. You have 256MB, but I believe that you'll need at least 512MB if not 1GB minimum.
*3D features are disabled with less than 512MB of VRAM. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/tech-specs.html

1Darn...I'm using cinema 4D for all my 3D needs and the Macbook copes fine. Do you reckon there's anyway to trick the system into thinking a different graphics card is installed?– StarkersCommented Jun 27, 2013 at 13:13
Change the color mode to RGB from CMYK.
