S.SubZero Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I currently have OS X running fairly well (except for some network weirdness) on this: Dell Inspiron E1705 C2D 2Ghz (cpus=1 setting) GeForce 7950GTX Go 512MB Broadcom 440x network SigmaTel 9200 audio (mostly functional) I think it's an 845 mobile chipset I don't have wireless enabled and don't really need it. ---- I am getting this laptop tomorrow: Sager 5792 C2D 2.5Ghz Penryn GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB 865PM chipset Realtek Gigabit NIC (don't know model, Windows drivers say '8169/8168/8101') Realtek audio ("Azalia") - No idea what model, and the Windows driver has many different models it supports I am concerned if OS X will like this thing at all. Even more important, if it does, how versatile would my existing install on the Dell be if I just took the hard drive out, slapped it in the Sager, and tried to boot it? Worst case I can always re-do it but if OS X can figure out a new environment with minimal hassle it would be a big help.

mtotho Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 u may want to remove the audio and lan kexts before you switch. Also, i assume ur sacrificing the better hardrive thats in the new laptop. it wouldnt be a big hassle to just install on that new laptop, and transfer all important stuff.
