beto00 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I also have an acer aspire 4520 but i have some different specs. for example i have an amd athlon 64 x2 processor, for some reason mine came with 4gb ram and some stuff, but its practically the same, so i understand that depending on the processor installing mac os may be or may be not possible, so if someone could tell me if i'm compatible and with which version i would be very grateful, thanx.

wattleferdz Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Sorry guys, was away for awhile Anyway, i just played with taruga's alc2 installer. I modified the ID by adding 0x055c10de. Try it and tell me if its working because it did with me. Oh by the way, before doing the trick, i remember installing azaliaaudio.kext to have my internal speakers recognized.
