MitchBomcanhao Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Acer TravelMate 371 Tci - Pentium-M 1.4GHz banias - 2x256MB Ram - 855GM intel chip7 Ok then... how it's working. I installed it on a second partition with my windows xp on first, and immediatly after install (deadmoo's image) everything was working really fast (comparing to some desktops i tried, they were real snails lol). Then i had some troubles patching the SSE3 thing, but it was a small stupid error, and once i overcome that (merely a folder issue), everything SSE3 related just worked. hardware wise: - touchpad works, can even configure tap and other stuff - sound works, though it can get choppy sometimes when cpu is overloaded, i guess. - firewire external cd rom works, usb 2.0 works - no gfx acceleration (device id 0x3582), though some people report it is possible. i haven't managed to do it, though. - i guess ethernet works, haven't tried it - wireless through usb dongle works like a charm (WEP only though) - battery is recognized and calculates time correctly (only get around 1:30 battery time, 4:00 in windows..) - changed keyboard layout to portuguese, but some keys are a bit misplaced. - special key combinations work, so Fn+whatever key does the desired effect (change sound, screen luminosity, mute, etc) - when i close lid, it turns off monitor and i think hard drive also. comes back when i open it. user related: - it works really fast, much faster than in my faster and higher ram desktop - i can use many apps at same time, rarely get any crashes whatsoever. example: itunes playing cdrom, safari opening several pages, usb wireless utility, mac messenger with several conversations, etc i'm really happy with how it works, i feel i can use it as a real alternative to windows, as is. thanks to all you guys who made this possible Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2474-works-great-acer-travelmate-371tci-laptop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
