Blender crashes immediate
If you have less than 16 MB video RAM. Blender only runs OK when you set your display on "thousands of colors" (16 bits). Systems with fewer than 8 MB won't even run Blender, for that we have provided a warning message at startup per Blender version 2.34.
If other applications use OpenGL, or when you have a very large deskop resolution, or use 2 monitors, you might run into troubles as well.
You can do tests with a small Blender window size though. Do this by starting Blender from a Terminal. Type here the full path to the Blender.app and add to that;
<path_to_blender.app>/Contents/MacOS/blender -p 100 100 700 500
This opens a small 700x500 pixel Blender window, offset 100 pixels from the bottom-left corner.
