HP Pavillion DV7 DV7-1245DX

[madhive]

So here are my specs...

 

I just got it today, but....

 

What release is best suited to run on this?

 

 

Since there are no drivers for my graphics support... what would be the difference between using a driver for my graphics card on OSX or not? Would the resolution still be able to go to the maximum? or just 1080x1024 or whatever the standard is..?

 

has anyone run this well on theirs?
