linuxhaxor36 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Here are the exact specs of my machine http://acersupport.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/AspireM5630/AspireM5630sp2.shtml I have this PC and I'm wondering where I should start to install OSX.9 Mavericks to my PC. I think I still would like to use this processor because in my experience it has been fast enough to do multi tasking on windows. Although the internet says otherwise, my Intel quad Q6600 processor seems to be faster than my 2012 non-retina mbp with intel i5 processor. The stock motherboard will only allow me to go up to 4gb which could be ok because I have a 480GB SSD lying around. So should I just upgrade the PSU, GPU and possibly the motherboard? Can I run 10.9 Mavericks on an intel core 2 quad series? thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/297645-acer-aspire-m5630-w-intel-quad-core-q6600-processor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxhaxor36 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 ofc, you can start here [ NooBs Guide ] How to install OS X Mavericks from scratch in progress - Tutorials (The Genius Bar) - InsanelyMac Forum I guess the biggest question I'm stuck on is whether or not the mother board (gigabite eg31m i'm guessing) will be compatible. I'm still wondering if I should go with my current build, or buy another mb with the 45nm processor compatible with this core 2 quad I have in my box already.
