anarchy99 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 i got a free inspiron 1501 because a friend didnt know the problem, it has a busted mobo so im waiting for a replacement and a new harddrive. if they worked i would have tested before asking but thought might aswell get this figured out before hand its a sempron 3500 1gb ram xpress 1150 graphics it will most likely be a 120 seagate SATA hd anyway i was wondering if i could get this running native, i hear the sata doesnt work but that means i could use vmware and make that native right? and the xpress 1150 is either a x200 or x300 is that true? does it function normally? another thing i was wondering what the graphics card compares to in real-world performance finally just out of curiosity, i have a 1.2ghz ibook 12" with 512mb ram and a radeon 9200 that belongs to my high school which come june when i grad gets returned i was wondering would this inspiron run osx native better than that ibook?(if it functions properly of coarse) thanks for tolerating my many newbish questions please no flaming/trolling stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
