kevtucker Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hi, has anybody had experience with installing 10.4.8 on a Acer Aspire 5633WLMi ? I am looking at getting this Laptop and will be wanting to load OSX86 onto it. I have checked at Wiki HCL list but cannot seem to find it. Hope someone has installed it successfully. Thanks Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSpike Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hi, I'm thinking of buying the same one very soon This one must run OS X with no problem. I've checked, and I think every chipset should be supported fine, exept the Intel 3945 WLAN (for the moment) Some drivers are in stage of developpement for it. I've seen somewhere this laptop shoud have a free miniPCI slot Type III (i hope it really has one) Fortunately, i've got an Atheros EMP-8602 miniPCI wifi card that will fit in, and be recognized as Airport (already tried on my current setup, with a miniPCI/PCI adapter). I think the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet chipset is supported too: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...amp;#entry73971 The audio should be fine with Taruga's fix, since it's Realtek ALC883. Moreover, I'd like to give a try to its nVidia graphics. If someone who has the same laptop reads me, please contribute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSpike Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hey kevtucker, Did you buy it yet ? Finally decided to buy the 5632 model. I found it a bit cheaper, and it's quite the same hardware. UPS is delivering it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
