: ) Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 So, I tried Ubuntu and that didn't work out too well. Fair enough. Let's give Mac OS X a try! Laptop (Vostro 1400): Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 Intel 965M Santa Rosa chipset 1GB RAM (gonna swap that out soon enough) 120GB SATA HD with god knows what controller nVidia 128MB 8400M GS Intel Wireless 3945abg Broadcom Ethernet BCM5906MD 10/100 I hope I'm not leaving anything out...any hope of giving this bad boy Mac OS X in full 64-bit glory? I figure why not, the new MB pros have 64-bit Mac OS X on them, no? Am I mistaken?

Stubish Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I've got a very similar spec machine coming, except it has the dell wireless card 1390 I believe. I'm sure to try osx when I get it, but i'd love to hear if somebody gets it working before I do. Currently the unit's due on the 28th.

: ) Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Well...that fubar'd my system for a good day while I tried to get grub back on. Now, Vista won't boot because the partition index is wrong...and a bunch of other stuff went bad. Yeah. Not trying this anymore.
