ShiroiHusky Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hey there, just reading around through the various Lion guides here, does anyone know if it would be possible to install lion on this setup: Sony Vaio VPCF11Z1E/BI - i7 Mobile 720 (not SB) - GeForce 330m Full Spec As the semi-recent (pre-SB) MBP models featured the same CPU and GPU, how likely would it be that Lion would install correctly on this machine? I have access to another mac through a college friend so file prep isn't an issue. Would I be limited to an early DP version or would it be best to try DP4 straight off? Thanks, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrax Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi, I'll give you a high probability of 80-90% lion will actually run on your vaio. Try DP4 first, if you run into problems you can try earlier builds. suc6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the USB install guide says I'll need DP2 (here) is there another guide for DP4 or can I chance at following along? -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrax Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Haven't seen a guide for DP4 yet. I would follow the DP2 guide and see how far you get... goodluck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
