vknyvz Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Here is the signaficant specs that you need to know; 8600m gt intel 1505 draft n wireless marvell yukon ethernet no bluetooth (so no questions about that) sigmatel audio 9228 (as usual), I actuallly also have sound blaster x-FI external sound card but hey screw it History This laptop as you guys know quite compatible with osx86s, I was successfully installed kalyway 10.5.2 before. Just screwed my ideneb 10.5.7 installation. So decided to give this 10.5.8 lite editon a go. on 10.5.7 (upgraded from 10.5.6) all of a sudden after a `sleep` try, computer started TALKING, haha yea the speech thing, and i couldn't disable it it was so freaking annoying. I am also dying to make mirror dual screen thingy to work, i have 22' dell monitor, and i just have to have it, for Xcode's sake What doesn't work after the installation; DVD-rom eject button don't care that much, can click on eject right lol. Sleep/Restart/Shutdown (as usual, which we can live without) Everything else works fine HEHE finally I was able to do DUAL SCREEN, with my 22 inch dell monitor, extended the screens, external monitor being the main one. So far I'd definitely SUGGEST this distro over every other one. This definitely better than iDeneb 10.5.6 and 10.5.7. Also need to say that System is working faster then it was on 10.5.7 and 10.5.6.

nemix Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm also a n00b and currently looking for a descent 13-15inch dell laptop for photoshop and some video on the go. From what I'm reading the 1530 is pretty well liked for running snow leopard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
