I don't have the laptop on me now, but i will in a few weeks.

what are the chances of all of this hardware working with osx?

CURRENT SPECS LIST:
AMD Turion 64 MK-36(2.0GHz)
ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 IGP 1280 x 800
120 GB PATA HDD
1GB DDR2 533
802.11g Wireless LAN ??BROADCAM B43??

ok, i think i can get the wireless working with a bit of work... Same with the audio.... Graphics... Will they work in Leopard... It says i need some calisto 003 or something is there a better solution out now???.... anyone have any say on the hdd or the processor... I was thinking of using Leo4All... any thoughts appreciated...

thanks!

i found an application called katana however, i have no idea whether it will work in leopard. It only says that open GL support is enabled. Does that mean coverflow will work? or do you need quartz extreme for that?

Yes, ATI Radeon 1150 IGP - still no chance.

still no chance at leopard? or no chance with Quartz extreme? or no chance with OpenGL?
