thecrazyguy Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hello. I am fairly new to the OS X and Hackintosh world. I wish to dual boot Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on my Dell 1440. I have scoured the forums for information, but have been unable to find any guides for the 1440. I have seen a couple of guides with the 1545 which has similar spec's, but I do not wish to take the risk and going into this project half-blind. I would like to thank you all for your help in advance. My Dell 1440's specs are as follows: CPU Type Mobile DualCore Intel Pentium T4400, 2200 MHz (11 x 200) Motherboard Chipset Intel Cantiga GM45 4GB Kingston DDR2 SDRAM 320 GB 7200 RPM HD Dell 1397 Wireless G Mini-Card 14.0" High Definition (720p) 1366 x 768 WLED Display with TrueLife IntelGMA X4500H200 1.3 MP Webcam Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208966-request-guide-to-installing-snow-leopard-on-dell-1440/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
