Need help with OSX installation on HP G42 notebook

[speedoholic]

Hi

I am currently running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my HP G42 laptop and since the software-center got messed up while I tried to install Virtual Box, I am sharing my system details via terminal (lshw). I have highlighted the information that seems more useful. Please let me know if installation of OSX would be possible on this machine or not?

1st gen Intel graphics can be made to work but there is some hacking involved: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286092-guide-1st-generation-intel-hd-graphics-qeci/

For install refer here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-unibeast.html

BCM4313 is not supported and will need to be replaced. Compatible chipsets and the procedures for making them work are covered here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html
