. .

This is a hardware compatibility list for 10.5.2 builds. Don't forget to add how you got OSx86 running on your desktop x86 computer, and to use proper English. Please see the discussion page for proper instructions on how to input your system specs. Also, please contribute to the HCL 10.5.1 page, which should list a more granular view of compatibility. If your computer isn't listed, you should try it if you have a SSE2 or higher processor. Kernels are available for most configured machines.

See the x86 software page for programs you can run without Rosetta.

Please list your computers in alphabetical order by manufacturer (Asus, Dell, HP, etc) . . .

For how to edit the Wiki, please see this thread. Thank you! .

Dimension 5150

• Install method: Kalyway 10.5.2 amd/intel SSE2/SSE3

 - had the following issues:
 - tried to install on top of 10.4.10 - bad idea install froze
 - install worked once the 10.4.10 install was erased
 - after install it would not recognize any keyboards (PS2 or USB), and I was stuck at the keyboard 
 - detection screen.  I resolved this with a solution from the following: thread

• Processor: Pentium 4HT 3.2 Ghz
• LAN Intel 100/VE NOT working then always said cable disconnected! - big PITA finally got it working by copying the following: AppleIntel8255x.kext
• EFI v8 with Vanilla kernel

Precision 530 Workstation

• Installer will not recognize any storage devices unless configured in BIOS to IDE, AHCI will work once installation is finished. Kernel seems sensitive to Boot Disk Priority Configuration and will have random kernel panics at boot if system disk is not in the proper order of which the disks are connected to their respected ports (BLP0SD2). Sleep mode does not always work and may crash. Hard Disk Spin Down functionality is abnormal (Continuous Spin-Spin Down at irregular intervals without reason.) . .
