MIRKOSOFT Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Hi! I'm using old OSX86 Tiger on very old laptop HP Compaq Evo N1000v. I got into my hand not so old netbook eMachines eM350. Here are basic features: System Manufacturer: eMachines Product Name: eM350 Family: Intel_Mobile CPU Brand Name: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz Processor Upgrade: Socket 478 CPU Code Name: Pineview-M SC CPU Platform: FCBGA8 (BGA559) Number of CPU Cores: 1 CPU Bus Type: Intel Direct Media Interface (DMI) v1.0 Enhanced Virtual-86 Mode Present Virtual Machine Extensions (VMX) Not Present Safer Mode Extensions (Intel TXT) Not Present 64-bit Extensions Present Memory Capacity: 4 GBytes Motherboard Model: Acer eM350 Motherboard Chipset: NM10 (Tigerpoint) Intel Pineview-M Processor - Integrated Graphics BIOS Vendor: Acer BIOS Version: V1.08 BIOS Release Date: 02/09/2011 UEFI Specification Support: Not Present Is possible to use there any newer OSX? Even - it has 64-bit CPU. Thank you for your help.

Guest ricoc90 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Sadly, no. The gpu it ships with (gma 3150) is not supported. There used to be a patched kext for it back in the days, but as far as I can remember that only gave native resolution, no acceleration and was for (Snow)Leopard.

MIRKOSOFT Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 If I use external monitor - I tried it many times that display of notebook or netbook was unreadable, but external display (mirrored) displays correctly selected resolution. Will it run at least OSX 10.4 Tiger?

Guest ricoc90 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Again no acceleration on graphics, but in theory you could, yes. Though you'll need a patched kernel because there also is no support for Atom CPUs by Apple.
