kc4square Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I recently purchased a Slimline s3200t desktop from HP (detailed specs below). I'm interested in installing Leopard but hoped to get a sense of my likelihoop of success before attempting. I've spent some time reading the forums and know that the graphics card isn't currently supported, but I plan to use the onboard Intel 950 instead (at least initially). Any other problems I might have. Any advice/thoughts would be appreciated... MOBO = Asus IPILP-AR (945G and ICH7DH chipsets, 1066/800/533 MHz FSB) Processor = Core2Duo E4500 (2.2GHz) Memory = 2GB DDR2-667MHz dual channel SDRAM Graphics = 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS (+ Integrated Intel 950) Hard Drive = 250GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive Optical Drive = LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive Onboard Audio = Audio CODEC: ALC888 Input devices = PS/2 keyboard and mouse Onboard LAN = Intel 82562 10/100Mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kenobi Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 It should fly. I installed it on a Slimline 3020la (same specs as yours, only with a bigger HD and without the Nvidia) I had it working under Tiger, and now I'm trying to get the network working under Leopard.

You ever get onboard LAN working? I'm successfully running Leopard, but have had to add a pci ethernet card (Realtek 8139-based) to get internet. Everything else (but shutdown) is working great.

1kenobi Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Better try this... You ever get onboard LAN working? I'm successfully running Leopard, but have had to add a pci ethernet card (Realtek 8139-based) to get internet. Everything else (but shutdown) is working great. I've just (1 minute ago) got it working using the AppleIntel8255x.kext posted by mactigre, making the change shown in Post #1 of the topic linked below. You should find his post here. Good luck!
