Juan A. N Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hello guys, Thank God and everyone here, I got my Dell Optiplex GX620 intel 945 chipset to work with osx using iDeneb 10.5.7,, the thing is that I am trying to install a purchased copy of iLife 11 but it tells me I need to have Snow Leopard 10.6.3 minimum! Could i update straight from apple update feature? if not, than how could i upgrade my system to atleast 10.6.3? thanks to everyone that helps me!!! P.S: also: how could i get my GMA950 graphics card to have Open GL support? I tried playing a few games but they all say I need hardware acceleration or something!

shadowblade2652 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 it won't work. Vanilla was designed for the core family architecture, and pentium D, sadly, is just before that. You will have to use a patched kernel otherwise your system will get kernel panics or endless boot screens or reboot loops. End of Story.
