I've been wanting to install osx on my old computer for a long time but haven't really found out what version of the OSX that works with my specs.

My computer is a Acer 5101 and I know that people have succesfully installed osx on this machine and that the only problem was the graphicscard, Radeon xpress 1100, which does not support qe/ci. Now i have been trying to read up on the whole qe/ci thing but haven't found answers to my questions anywhere. I was wondering if anyone knows what version will work best with my machine and if the lack of qe/ci is such a really big deal. The most important thing for me is spotify and flashmovies, will these even work without qe/ci?

Please if anyone has any information for me help me cuz i really want to use OSX:)
