bemac Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I'm new here, and I don't have my portable mac anymore, but do have a spare windows notebook; so I am very interested in go dual boot or just full fledged OSX. Does anybody have any experience with an Acer Aspire 5570 - 2609? Could I expect compatibility similar to certain wiki listed compatible systems? Which OS X version would be ideal. In the forum I seem to notice that some are better for certain systems than others. Thanks for giving me a starting point. Specs are: Intel Pentium Dual Core T2060 1.6 GHz 14" WXGA Intel GMA 950 [Device Manager Mobile Intel 945GM/GU Express family chipset] DVD burner HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-10N ATA device 2GB RAM 80GB HDD via Intel 82801 GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) SATA storage controller 27C4 WiFi Atheros AR5007EG Ethernet Marvell Yukon 88E8038 PCIE Fast Ethernet Controller Realtek HD Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bemac Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 hi winxp. I'll let you know as soon as I find out something. I have been focused on the wifi card so far, but turns out that the one in mine is the very latest Atheros model (2007) which isn't supported yet.
