DjNeta said:If I have a laptop that has a GT540M and a 2nd gen core i7, can i disable the GT540M and run the graphics off of the CPU and then install a Mac OS?
Thnx
That depends on whether the BIOS of the laptop allows you to do that. Personally I don't think that's allowed.
Even if you manage to get past that, you still have to worry about our problems such as WiFi, audio, network etc. if you want to install Mac OSX on your laptop. Generally I do not recommend installing Mac OSX on a notebook.

also, HD3000 only works on lion, so you would have to get that up and running as well. i don't know for sure, but considering that you have to install snow leopard first and then move over, i am not sure how that process works.
