Hello all. I'm Planning on undertaking the task of installing osx (hopefully 10.9 mavericks) onto my dell 15r se 7520. I have been reading through the forums for the last few days to get a grasp on what to do, but idea's are still scrambled to me.
First of all my hardware info:
Dell 15r SE 7520
CPU - Intel Core i7 3632QM Ivy bridge
Main board - Intel HM77
Video - Intel HD 4000 / AMD Radeon HD 7730M
I will be following this guide
http://www.tonymacx86.com/374-unibeast-install-os-x-mavericks-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
As far as i know there is still no way to get the 7730M working, and that is ok. From what i have read the hd4000 will work fine with max resolution of 1366x768. I go this information from
http://www.tonymacx86.com/laptop-compatibility/138841-dell-inspiron-7520-15r-se.html
in post #4 of that topic i will be following this advice
"Install newer VoodooPS2 to /Extra/Extensions on the USB (the one in Unibeast is old): https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller"
Unless the unibeast has been updated and there is no need. Not sure.
I learned from reading through these forums that the wifi card i have ( Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230) will not work in OSX. From reading this page http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html I ordered myself a Broadcom BCM943225HMB Wireless 300M Wifi wlan 802.11 N 3.0 Bluetooth BT Card. I believe that should have both working bluetooth and wifi in OSX. Hope so, as i already ordered one
I'm really doing this a learning process. Years ago i installed osx on a dell mini 10v which was pretty easy from what i remember, I except this to be harder. It will be awhile before I receive the wifi/bt card to even begin this process. Just making this post to get some suggestions to make the installation process smooth. I would like to have a clearer understanding before I attempt this.
Hopefully I provided enough information in this post. If not please inform me of what i need to add. I hope that my post is well enough formed and informative that people with advice and knowledge will appreciate it and have suggestions.
Thank you for reading.
