smartie77 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Is it possible to install Mac OSX Snow Leopard on a laptop with the following attached specifications? WILLIAMS_PC.html surely, at least Snow should be no big problem at all. ( Lion needs 2GB Ram and i dont recommend it because of lots of bugs and slowiness in it now ). Chipset and CPU is OSX comaptible. Intel GMA graphics must see if there are kexts hacks available. Apple uses lots of GMA(X) in OSX, there are kexts included but some need to be patched to give 3d on specific cards. For Sound typically one of the generic voodoohda.kexts will work everytime, maybe you need to try 2 or 3 versions, but one will work. Wifi is limited to Broadcom internal pci-e cards ( "Airport" in Apple ) - if you have a unsupported wifi you simply can buy a cheap external usb dongle for OSX, there are some available from Belkin,Sitecom and other brands. PS2 Kexboards and Trackpads will work with either ApplePS2 or with VoodooPS2, also no big problems. Finetuning for tap to click and so can be sorted out later, at least it will work as a generic mouse.
