sese Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I recently bought a new laptop and I am wondering if it is too new and powerful that it wouldn't even be worth installing osx86 on it due to too many hardware components not working. Here are the specs: Brand Acer Series Aspire Model AS9920G CPU Type Intel Core 2 Duo CPU Speed T7600(2.33GHz) CPU FSB 667MHz CPU L2 Cache 4MB Chipset Intel PM965 express Screen Size 20.1" GPU/VPU NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT Video Memory Dedicated 1024MB Graphic Type Dedicated Card HD Capacity 320GB HD RPM 5400rpm HD Interface SATA HD Spec 160GB x 2, RAID 0, 1 and Intel Matrix Storage Technology Support Memory Slots 2x DIMM Memory Speed DDR2 667 Memory Size 4GB Memory Spec 2GB x 2 Optical Drive Type HD DVD-ROM / Super Multi LAN 10/100/1000Mbps WLAN 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN, Wireless N support (I think its the intel 4965) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58568-too-powerful/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBits Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Sorry but apple has MacPro with 2x quad core at 3Ghz (8 cores) + 16Gb of ram and more + 30" displays... And if that is not too powerfull yours is not for sure... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58568-too-powerful/#findComment-417999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I think the only thing you might have difficulty with is your gfx card. There is very little support currently for nVidia 8xxx cards, although there is an entire thread devoted to that topic and I haven't checked it out for awhile. As CoolBits says, power isn't the factor here...it's compatibility. Most of your parts should fit nicely for OSX86.
