Alex DeWolf Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hello all: I have a Samsung Q1 Ultra: Processor: Intel A110 800 MHz Memory: 2 GB Hard drive: 60GB IDE drive Display: 7" 1024x600 Intel GMA 950 128MB VRAM Graphics touch screen Wireless LAN:Aethros (2005?) Will 10.5 or 10.4 work on this??? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83016-will-105-run-on-samsung-q1-ultra/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatoncat Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Just picked one up myself (Q1U-EL), hope to give it a try soon. Judging by the specs, Leopard should run on it (emphasis on should). However, the wireless hardware will probably the the big problem... I'm not sure there's a driver for this Atheros card.

Korrupted Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 It might be a bit sluggish on that CPU since it runs @ 800Mhz and only has SSE2. http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/da...ts/31690801.pdf Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83016-will-105-run-on-samsung-q1-ultra/#findComment-591722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatoncat Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 It's not as bad as you might think, the Eee PC has a similar CPU (if not the same one), and folks report Mac OS X being quite responsive on those units (on both Tiger and Leopard). It certainly would be better than Vista, and probably better than XP too. Actually, the Eee's problem with Leopard is the fact that the GMA900 drivers are blocked. If it had a GMA950 (which the Q1U's all do), it probably would make an excellent Leopard system too. Funny, I almost bought an Eee PC. But, managed to get the Q1U on clearance at Best Buy for even less ($349, yeah, $349 ).

Dan the Soundman Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Any luck getting leopard on the q1 ultra? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83016-will-105-run-on-samsung-q1-ultra/#findComment-647146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatoncat Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Unfortunately, no. On every build I've tried (both Tiger and Leopard), I get variants of the waiting on root device hang. I suspect it is because of the HDD master/slave configuration, but I really don't have time to find out... so it's just headed onto the eBay pile.
