Synaesthesia Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 If it would run, what will be supported? Sound drivers? WiFi driver? ....? It depends on the Audio chipset/ wifi chipset. Intel wifi is not supported, only some Broadcom + Atheros chipsets. But it can be replaced. There is a good chance your Audio will work, but probably just output, not input. Try iAtkos, or Leo4All, or Jas, or iDeneb. (or or or or...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or or or or...) well my wifi chipset is an Intel 3945 or something with those numbers :-) audio chipset is from Conexant Audio HD but i have also an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card that i could use.
