Intel D2500HN

[V1521]

Hey!
i currently have the Intel d2500hn with 2gb ram and the atom processor.
i was wondering if any version of OS X can be installed on it?

im alright with any version leopard onwards!

I am sorry to inform you that we only Support Snow Leopard onwards on Intel CPU hardware. The current Haswell hardware is supported quite well. If you were to consider a budget build then this thread may give you some assistance in choosing the hardware

Here is a couple of options for cheaply available older hardware:

Don't go spending lots of money on old hardware - its performance does not warrant the expenditure.

I'm gonna get a laptop for hackintosh anyway..

Just wanted to try it first on my old PC.

Thanks!

Is there absolutely any possible way to run osx
on my current hardware without buying anything?

No worries. You can get some good information by scanning and reading the Laptop forums to see what works:

I was thinking of buying the Dell I3542-6003bk . Any thoughts about it.?

No - even if it had a socket 775 processor that was supported in OS X, the lack of a PCIe x16 graphics slot means that this board will only work with Windows and possible some versions of Linux.

If its not too much trouble, could you suggest some dell laptops below 400$?Thanks!

Go over the specification as covered here:

I don't use a laptop - only desktops & genuine Apple laptops. I can't be bothered with a months work to get OS X running on a windows laptop. Opening up a laptop to change the wifi card is often also required.

If you cannot find others using this model with the specification available on your continent, then be very forensic in getting the information on that model before purchasing. Hacking laptops can be very slow and few machines will work 100%.

Thanks so much!

I've got plenty of time to try to set it up!

Any specific things I should look for in a laptop(dell only)!

Thanks
