marliwahoo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I just searched this forum for one of the most important items on your attached list. The Radeon Mobility 9000 dose not work well with osx. Basically it's a driver problem. Try here:http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=41235 You can search google for other hardware items (like your network card) this way: "name of your network card" site:forum.insanelymac.com. Welcome to the forum and good luck. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148170-newbie-asking-for-advice-please/#findComment-1049189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk8ergrl Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thank you Marliwahoo for taking the time looking at my laptop's hardware info. I heard that you can buy an add-on to upgrade your laptop's agp card. Would this be supported for leopard? You can get the latest agp but not sure if the add-on will be supported as its a module think its pci-e not sure.

You can get the latest agp but not sure if the add-on will be supported as its a module think its pci-e not sure. I doubt that your agp graphics are upgradeable (I'm no expert). This is where the search suggestion will get you further and faster than any information I can give you.
