BelgianBull Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi, I've already a Mac... My cousin has bought an Vaio with Vista. And he's really unhappy with this... It's a very slow OS... I told him that he can install OS X. The Hardware is: Sony Vaio VGN-CR31S/L Mobile Intel® PM965 Express-chipset Intel® Core™2 Duo-processor T8100, support Enhanced Intel SpeedStep®-technology DVD+-RW/+-R DL/RAM Hard Disk 160 Gb (S-ATA) ATI® Mobility™ Radeon® X2300 Has someone experience with this set up? Which is the prefered installation? It will be native OS X. Are there known issues (missing drivers, non-working hardware,...) ?
