Quactaur Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 You might be able to but it'll be a bit tricky from what I can gather. The CPU is not an SSE3 cpu, so you will need to modify the installation a bit, and won't be able to run power-pc apps. You will almost certainly need more ram than 512mb for day-to-day activity. You will need a new wireless card I *think*. They cost about 10-15 euros. Someone else will chime in, but it does look do-able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 First of all there is an Italian forum there... http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showforum=96 About wireless - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=203828 You will need a patched kernel. It's the only way to install on the given hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joco91 Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 I know that there is an italian forum, but i have read that i can post only here for the moment. So it is possibile instal a Mac, but what version? 1.5.0? There is a guide compatible with my hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 i have read that i can post only here for the momentOops! Sorry! Sure, the rules... I don't think that there is a guide exactly for your notebook. But knowing your hardware, you could search some info on each component individually. Begin with chipset and CPU. The main thing about your CPU is, that it supports only SSE2 (no SSE3 or SSSE3). Therefore one should use any (and only) patched kernel (like voodoo or AnV or qoopz). As for the version... For the very first try I'd suggest Kalyway 10.5.1. it is simple to install (as it has very few options to chose from then customizing install) so you could do it easier... Eventually you could do a "retail-like" install using this guide. But there is MUCH you have to learn before going this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joco91 Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 So, I try to install kalyway 10.5.1 with that patched kernel... Maybe it is better if I found a guide step to step for this thinks so I can understood what we are talking abaut XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
