RamosDevil Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I've only answered on components I am sure of - the rest I do not know about. Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 @ 1.83 GHz This is a compatible processor. Intel GMA 945M with 224MB RAM You may have some trouble getting your computer to display your native resolution. I have the same graphics chip and I was able to get it running in 1280x800. It took a lot of work though, as the GMA series is not supported - You will need modified kexts. Tough, not impossible. Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Controller This wireless card is not supported, you will need either a new card or a USB adapter for WiFi. On the other hand, the Broadcom Ethernet Controller should work with a wired connection. As for the rest of your components, hopefully others can give you more information.
