MultimediaGuy Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I know this is an old post, but I have this exact laptop, and I'd appreciate an updated guide for getting this ElCapitan working on it without the tony tools mentioned here that I have no desire to use. It's an old laptop, and I have no interest in dual boot either, so it's difficult to follow this post. If it'd be better to start another post for this, I apologize, but this is the first mention of a vostro 2520 I've seen. My specs: Dell Vostro 2520 Intel Core i3 2348M CPU @ 2.30Ghz Sandy Bridge Socket 988B rPGA CPUID 6.A.7 Intel HD Graphics 3000 Screen size 15.3 inches Max resolution 1366x768 Chipset Intel HM75 DDR3 RAM 4Gb I hope these specs are useful for determining what path I need to take. Please let me know if You need more. Thanks in advance for any assistance. I'm new to Hackintosh, and I tried Tony's tools and forum and ithey don't work.
