Micah Vestal Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just in case anybody is interested in setting up a Dell Vostro 200: Kalyway boots perfectly, but (as stated in OSx86 Wiki) the on board video card does not seem to be supported. So you will need a supported video card. Sound seems to work just as well without specific drivers, but you can find sound card drivers online. Cool Stuff: Dell states that this machine only supports 4 x 1GB Dimms, but it really does support 4 x 2GB Dimms. I just tried it and it shows up as 8GB both in BIOS and in "About this Mac." My benchmarks on Xbench improved quite a bit too. I know that a few weeks ago some of this information would have been helpful to me. I had trouble getting Kalyway to boot up, but after I burned the disc in Vista at 1x it worked fine (could not get my MacBook to burn a bootable disc no matter what I tried). If you need to know anything about a Dell Vostro 200 Hackintosh setup ONLY, please feel free to PM me and I will do my best to reply. It's a very stable setup with good results at a low price. My Setup: Diamond HD3650 1024MB Graphics Card 8GB (4x2GB) 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM Western Digital 500GB SATA Drive Generic Firewire Card Generic NIC Generic Bluetooth Dongle Everything works well so far from what I can see.

T H S Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hello, I am Brazilian and I have a Dell vostro. I wonder which version of kalyway you use? Because I tried to Iaktos and did not want me to pass more information as it did to install.

Did you get the onboard audio to work too? if so what kext's did you use as i cant get any kind of audio output on my vostro 200. I installed a realtek gigabit lan controller and that wrked fine, my Geforce 9500GT 1GB works fine too with the 10.5.7 update.
