elitegamer1 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Was just wondering if it was really worth installing mac osx on this laptop. Following configuration - Core 2 Duo -1 .6 ghz Dell/Broadcom - 1390 WLAN Broadcom 440x LAN Modem - dont know, dont care Intel 945 GM chipset/video 1 gb DDR 2 RAM Sigmatel Onboard Audio - not sure what chipset version though I want to be sure that absolutely every hardware works with it, instead of going through a painful procedure and finding out that half of the things dont work and the OS wasnt really worth installing in the first case. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four! Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 A Mate of mine has one of these. Everything worked out of the box including bluetooth. QE + CI works perfectly. WiFi need tweaking with the Intel 220 Wireless kexts. Broadcom LAN needs en2 hack. It's not a hard machine to get fully working though. Took me about 1 1/2hrs to get it running like a macbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
