I obviously messed up on the title of the last post:shifty:, so I made a new one. I am wondering if my laptop can run any version of OSX. I have seen one of my co workers put OSX:clap: on his HP laptop running a core I3 or I5 processor(can't remember which one:crazy:). I would like to try it out myself. I was wondering if any version of OSX is compatible with an Intel Celeron Dual core processor. It runs at 2.16GHz, but is boosted to 2.58GHz due to the Turbo Boost built into the BIOS. I have a SanDisk SSD Plus 120GB drive I installed in it. I would like a experts opinion.:ugeek: I have found many Mixed opinions on the compatibility of the Celeron Processor:banghead: and I would like to know for sure weather it works or not. Thanks!
