Ravich Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Regarding the different component lists, if something is compatible with 1.5.0 will it work for 15.1? So from what I've been able to find, my video card (GeForce 8400m GS 256MB) is good to go with QE and CI, just needs some patch or whatever. My audio card I have no clue on, I cant find anything other than "Realtek HD audio" but that isnt a big deal since I can get something external that works innately, right? Processor is Intel Core 2 duo T7500 which as far as I have seen is ok... Motherboard: Crestline & ICH8M Chipset <--- havent been able to tell on this one :\ Netword card is 3945ABG, and does not work as of right now, but last I checked lots of progress was being made, and it isnt the end of the world if I cant have wireless when running OSX I wanted to see whether I should just go ahead and give it a shot with this or whether there's something else I should be doing before giving it a shot.

vaporATX Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Are you buying these components, or are these what you have? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/103621-about-to-take-the-dive/#findComment-738034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravich Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 These are what I have. I have a new PC notebook that I cant return, but I need a mac. This is basically my last ditch effort before I just buy a macbook and sell my PC.

Dimension Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 If you have the avliable hard drive/software - you could do a sector by sector copy of your current hard drive onto another one into a disc image . This way, if something goes on you just restore the disc image from the other drive. I know no Mac-based software that does this, but if you've got windows around, Acronis software might do the trick. (Stay away from nortons) Personally, i'd just give it the go and reinstall if it goes wrong. But, it's easy for me to backup (i'd just reinstall to a different hard drive, the old one containing the current data, and copy across to the new install.)
