HCL 10.8.0/Desktops

OS X 10.8.0 Hardware Compatibility Portable Computers Desktop Computers Hardware Components

This is a hardware compatibility list for desktop computers. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying a desktop. Don't forget to add how you got OSx86 running on your x86 desktop 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 10.8.0 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. Use vanilla kernel if it is supported.

• ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
• Please add hardware into tables.
• This is for 10.8.0 builds only.

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

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

Note: Please add whether your device supports QE, Quartz Extreme, graphics. Try playing a movie with Quicktime Player.

If it's ethernet (like mine), it should say ethernet (not have en0 or en1 after it) Reboot again and network should be good to go Upgraded to 10.8.1 via manual download, works fine Upgraded to 10.8.2 via manual combo update download, works fine Installed Supplemental Update by manual download, still working Good Luck - Zackptg5

Dell Vostro 200

• Install Method: OSXLatitude -> follow this link for all the necessary details.
• Limited choice of graphics card on Slim Tower models (low-profile cards + 250W power supply). Better choice on Mini Tower models (full height cards).
