Vipersfate Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 After extensive searching, I only found one post on a laptop that is similar to the one that I mentioned. This laptop has the parts as follows: Motherboard: ATi SB450 Processor : Intel Celeron 1.6 (Looks like a dothan) and you all should know the video and chipsets of this board (the ATi board) I haven't found any related information on the wiki or anywhere else. Is there a specific version of OSx86 that will work with this laptop with minimal editing? Thanks!

Reveeen Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 ATI/AMD chipsets are "problematic" at best. There is an install here that might be of some help: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=74426 But if you read through it, mine won't "go", so it seems it is a case, by case, situation. I am fairly certain that SATA is out for you, maybe an install to a USB drive? Also, I do not see any audio support of any kind for the SB450 south bridge, again a USB solution? I *think* at some point this becomes no "fun", and a better candidate is the better choice, your call.

Vipersfate Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 I agree, that at some point it's not even worth it. It's odd because you mention ATI/AMD chipsets, but this is a celeron m Processor. Maybe the case is mislabeled? I thought that SATA was out of the question, and I figured audio would be as well. Thanks alot for the information. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85629-toshiba-satellite-a100-st1401/#findComment-608785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It's odd because you mention ATI/AMD chipsets AMD owns ATI. On July 24, 2006, AMD and ATI announced a plan to merge together in a deal valued at $5.4 billion. The merger closed on October 25, 2006. ATI, a subsidiary of AMD, is called the Graphics Product Group (GPG) inside the company Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85629-toshiba-satellite-a100-st1401/#findComment-608958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipersfate Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I know that ATi was bought out by AMD, I just was assuming that he/she was thinking it had an AMD processor in it, as when this laptop was made, AMD had not yet acquired ATi Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85629-toshiba-satellite-a100-st1401/#findComment-609291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
