HP dm4 1060us Help
 

Hi guys, I'm to the forum but deffinitly not new to the scene. Use to have an old toshiba laptop running Leopard until it had the touchpad go out among other things. So i have gotten a 14" hp laptop and have had little success getting it to run OSX leopard or snow leopard however leopard is actually bootable and i really dont want to go through the trouble of snow leopard install as from what i read its difficult. And my Processor will only boot if i use BUSRATIO=17 and CPUS=1 boot flags.

Basically what i want is to see if anyone has any suggestions as to install disc and im also thinking of purchasing a new wifi card as im having trouble with mine and unless someone else knows how to get it working im not going to sit around and wait like i did with the intel 3945abg card.

Specs are as follows:

Platform : Intel Calpella
Mainboard : HP 146A
Chipset : Intel HM55
Processor : Intel Core i5 430M @ 2266MHz
Physical Memory : 4096MB (2 x 2048 DDR3-SDRAM )
Video Card : Intel(R) HD Graphics
Hard Disk : Western Digital WD5000BEKT-60KA9T0 (500GB)
DVD-Rom Drive : Hewlett-Packard CDDVDW TS-U633F
Monitor Type : Seiko Epson - 14 inches
Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RTL8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Network Card : Broadcom BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY

if i end up replacing the card i'd probably replace it with the BroadCom BCM94322MC as it is the same as in the Mac mini and should be supported no matter which i go with, Snow or Leopard. My only concern would be that my bios/motherboard wouldnt like it. But being a broadcom card like i already have shouldnt be a problem correct?

Thank you in advance for any help. Hoping to have a nice stay at InfiniteMac.
