Hi, · I have a Sony Vaio PCV-RS 320 with a 2.6 ghz pentium 4. I has a ide hard drive and a ide dvd drive. I have a snow leopard retaill family install and I was wondering if I could run snow leopard on this machine? It has a Asus P4SD-VX mobo. Thanks. :D
My processor is actually a 2.6ghz pentium 4 northwood with sse2 and hyper threading support. My mobo is a asus P4SD-VX . The ATA controller is a intel 82801EB. Thats all the info I can find right now.
