Thread: Same Old Same old

I have an Acer Aspire 5536G with the following specs:

AMD Turion X2 RM-74
Acer JV50PU Motherboard
4GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4570 Graphics Card

I currently have a windows 7 Ultimate and windows XP Professional DualBoot setup. However i would like to add a Mac OS X installation as well.

Is this possible with my specs? I have done some research already but i am scared i will mess up my laptop if i do not cross check with an expert.

I was planning on installing Snow Leo with this guide

and then updating to Lion via this guide
tonymacx86 Blog: UniBeast: Install Mac OS X Lion Using an All-In-One Bootable USB Drive

Is it possible for me to do this? If not could you point me towards a relevant guide that is compatible with my specs. I dont mind just installing snow leopard.

Thanks a lot!!

You can't install Lion on AMD, not yet.

You can use this guide for Snow Leopard, though:

Thanks a lot!! I heard i might have some problems with my ATI Raedon HD 4570. would simply installing the "ATIFramebuffer.kext" and "ATI4570.Fix.v2.kext" solve the problems?

Also Chameleon would automatically detect my previous OS (Windows 7) and show up in the bootloader? and will it boot without problems?

its your cpu thats the problem, for lion. as real macs use Intel cpu

I know i cannot run Lion now. Thanks for everyones help. Just wondering about graphics now

Try to find a spare hard drive and practice on it before you use the real HD, or be prepared to lose your data!

for your graphics report if it works. Mobility HD5470 QE/CI ! - InsanelyMac Forum

That is for the HD5470 would it still work for my HD4570
