razielu Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hello all, I am currently using a Dell Precision M6400 laptop and would like to know if I have any chance of getting Snow Leopard to work and what distro would you recommend. My configuration is the following: - Audio: IDT Audio - Video: nVidia Quadro FX 2700M - LAN: Broadcom NetXTreme 57xx - WLAN: Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN Thank you in advance!

grei9715 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm interested in this too. So far, I've found a thread on how to run 10.5, so 10.6 should definitely be possible: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=156318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fegato Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 OK. I managed to install snow leopard 10.6.2 using SnowOSXUniFlash 1.0 it's a usb image you have to restore on a usb key: you can put additional kext in predefined folders inside so testing of build a customized usb install key it's fast and pretty easy now for me do not work: - ethernet Broadcom 57xx (that worked before on leopard 10.5.8 with a kext and a manual terminal string) - wifi intel 5100 (waiting for news here: http://projectcamphor.mercurysquad.com/pos...roject-camphor) what somehow works: works the nvidia quadro fx 3700m using nvenabler (full res and quartz) works the idt audio but with voodoohda included in the usbimage(so not working volume control on keyboard or in the bar) If someone make some progress or want to help thanks.
