epro Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hi All I have a chance to get a great deal on a Gateway notebook and was wondering if I could make it a multi-boot with 10.4.7? I’d like to make sure before I buy. Can I run 10.4.7 or will I have to run 10.4.6? How much speed will I loose running 10.4.6? Will the Mac-OS-X-10.4.7-AMD.Intel-(JaS)-ISO-Repack torrent work to install or will i need a 10.4.6 torrent to start? The fallowing is what info I could retrieve on the notebook. Thanks in advance for any help, tech data or info.

MacusAmicus Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I've have this notebook in a dual boot configuration. Wireless works great. Video is just the default. Sound doesn't work, but an iMic works great for that. Boots with cpus=1 all of the time. Still working on the dual processors, does run sometimes with both. The APCI battery fix works with this book. USB works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
