_Animosity_ Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Ladies and gentlemen, Seeing how Leopard 10.5.5 worked on my old laptop the Dell XPS M140, while I had my Gateway NX570. Both laptops had turned into rubble. The Gateway NX570 DC Jack broke inside the computer, while the Dell XPS M140 is slowly becoming rotten. What did I do? I went to Best buy and got a new laptop. The laptop I acquired is the ASUS N83V-X2. Specs: Processor Brand Intel® Processor Platform Intel® Centrino® Processor Intel® Core™2 Duo Mobile Processor Speed 2.0GHz Display Type WXGA+ widescreen with 1280 x 800 resolution Screen Size 14.1" System Bus 800MHz Cache Memory 2MB on die Level 2 System Memory (RAM) 4GB Type of Memory (RAM) PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM Hard Drive Type Serial ATA (5400 rpm) Hard Drive Size 250GB Optical Drive Double-layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Optical Drive Speeds Drive speeds not specified Direct-Disc Labeling No Digital Media Reader or Slots Yes, digital media card reader Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS Video Memory Up to 512MB Personal Video Recorder (PVR) No TV Tuner No MPEG Yes Built-in Webcam Yes Modem None Networking Built-in Ethernet LAN with RJ-45 connector Wireless Networking Wireless-A+B+G+N Bluetooth-Enabled No Security Technology Facial recognition S-Video Outputs None Additional Audio/Video Connectors HDMI Audio Dolby Theater Speakers Built-in stereo PCMCIA Slots 1 Type II USB 2.0 Ports 5 IEEE 1394 FireWire Ports 1 Parallel Ports None Serial Ports None Game Ports None Laptop Weight Standard (more than 5.5 lbs.) Battery Type Lithium-ion Battery Life Not available Pointing Device Touchpad Operating System Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit with SP1 Included Software Power 4 Gear Extreme, Asus Color Enhancement, Instant Keys, Life-Frame 3 and more I've been using Vista for a rather short time now, but now I want to try something different. I want to install Leopard on my laptop with a dual boot partition. Question is, what are the drivers I need and some of the different OSX cds I can use? I'll be posting up better specifcations of the laptop soon. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/168943-new-laptop-new-project/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
