Lenovo G570 43347?

[Pasarel]

Hi guys,

I'm starting this topic because both Windows and Linux have failed me when it came to multimedia production. I am now looking to move to Mac OS X (Snow Leopard or higher), though I have some doubts that my configuration would be able to sustain it. These are my specs:

CPU: Intel® Celeron® CPU B800 @ 1.50GHz
Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics Family
RAM: 4.0 GB

I don't really care if it would take a lot of effort to install OS X - as long as it's theoretically possible, I'm fine with it.

Thanks,
Alex

Are you sure you want to? You will have NO QE/CI (Quartz Extreme/Core Image) aka HW acceleration and therefore doing anything in Lion or above will be extremely laggy and will not do well in production. Snow Leopard is somewhat usable without QE/CI, but many applications require it (ex. iWork '09). Without the rest of the specs, there is no way to tell if the rest of the things (Sound, WiFi, Ethernet, etc.) will work.

Sorry, it was 3 AM when I posted this, here are the rest of the specs (copy & pasted from EVEREST to make sure it's accurate).

I also own one of those M-Audio Fast Track USB sound cards, so if my integrated card doesn't work, maybe the USB one will.

It is most likely that only your HW acccel won't work in this computer. Can you try to find the codec for the sound? ex. ALCxxx

You should be able to find this by searching the internet, or you can post the model/make here. 

If you have very extreme tech skills, try upgrading to a Core i3, which will make everything compatible.

[Pasarel]

Honestly, I don't even care if the sound works or not, as I found out that my external card is fully compatible with OS X. 

 

Anyway, I'm trying to install Snow Leopard using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy, but it keeps giving me kernel panics, saying it was unable to find the ACPI driver - that happens before the installer starts. What should I do?

[dcai777]

Please do not use i-boot here, as the rules explicitly state that we do not support tonymac tools. Do you have access to a Mac?

[Pasarel]

Only if I run Mac through a virtual machine, on Windows. Otherwise no, I do not have access to a real computer running Mac.

[dcai777]

OK then use myhack. http://myhack.sojugarden.com/

DO NOT select the MBR patch even if you need it.

[Pasarel]

Thanks, but it seems that my machine is only able to run Leopard through virtualization, and the latest version of myHack requires at least Snow Leopard. I've been searching the Internet all day for a myHack version that can run on Leopard, but all the files seem to have been taken down. Do you know where I can get an older version of it (2.2, 2.0...)?

[dcai777]

The older versions don't support myHack. Can you make a VM with iAtkos S3?

[vusun123]

Intel HD Graphics on Celeron CPU isn't supported, sad truth
