When it says 4000 thousand graphics it means Intel 4000 Right? My laptop has Intel 4500HD and it's is not supported.
 
Yes, thats what it means, Intel 4000, and when you say your card isnt supported, do you mean HD wise? or all in all you cant see the screen? And also, you think i would be able to get lion or mountain lion on that build? And would the wireless card work? Thanks.
 
Yup ^ just making sure.
 
Thanks so much the both of you, @ahmad90, do you have any idea what model of Atheros card supports bluetooth and wifi like the centrino? (im not able to get the inspiron with the Dell wireless, i currently have 2 hackintoshes, 1 on a pentium D :) and another in a laptop, core 2 duo. I could always pull the pci card from that, but i really dont want to. Any help would be great, thanks. (Again google told me nothing : / )

*update, after further digging: Amazon.com: Atheros 802.11n WiFi & Bluetooth Wireless Mini PCI-E Adapter w/ Dual Antenna Kit: Electronics

would ^^^ work???*
 
Does your bluetooth work? I did a little looking around at some kexts, can't seem to find one that has working bluetooth for your card, just wireless. Thanks.
 
Excellent, thanks so much. (Do you recommend your card? Does it receive good signal quality?)
 
I just bought the same system except with an i7 -3612QM. I'm wondering if there was any success with it. I don't have time to trailblaze, so if I'm not fairly sure it's going to work without much problem, I'll try it, if not, I'll forget about it.
 
Hey I just bought the same Inspiron 5520 only mines a 500GB HD
I was wondering if you need to have a DSDT for and if the installation is a regular installation (not using any commands)
 
I tried installing mountain on Unibeast 1.5 but it gave me a kext issue... help please
