35gins Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi, everyone! Straight to the point: Imagine I find a "normal PC" identical to the MC207LL/A: Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 250GB Hard Drive, 8x Double-layer SuperDrive, 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor What are the chances that some of its compontents (eg motherboard) are incompatible with OSX? And if all components are compatible, does it mean I could install Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard retail? Thanks for your answers (I Don't have a hardware, so I don't have a sig...)

JCsHands Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The real issue is going to be the other hardware in the notebook. As far as the WiFi and such. DVD drive doesn't matter, amount of RAM doesn't matter, just the MOBO and the WiFi card.

35gins Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Thanks for your answer. So, two PC's with the exact same CPU, Graphic card etc. might have two completely different motherboards. So different to create compatibility issues with the operating system. Is that right? I know you can't state this a priori, but generally speaking, could these issues be serious (doesn't boot, crashes every five minutes, the PC is melting! ) or trivial (oh, the third USB port doesn't work)? As for the WiFi: do you mean the WiFi could not work, period, or that a non-working WiFi might cause the malfunctioning of other components?
