Don't answer that. You probably cannot. If it is a Z series Atom as everything I read suggested, it cannot.

The Intel GMA 500 graphics are not compatible with OS X anyway. Same problem with the Mini 12. Basically, when people get the Mini 12 running it, the 10 will as well.

The key point here I believe, which doesn't often get mentioned, is that Apple themselves support the GMA 950 chipset because it's the graphics processor in all Mac Minis, older MacBooks and some older iMacs. So driver support is built in to OS X.

That's why it runs so well on the Mini 9.

Apple have never made any hardware with the GMA500 graphics processor - therefore it would mean porting or writing an entirely new driver for OS X to make it work. Potentially a very difficult and complex task.

That GMA 500 thing is so annyoing, cant you just take GMA 500 out and put the other gma on it, or if i get a non z atom proccesor and put that on it, please im so sick of people saying you cant do it! :evil:

[levil]

I don't think you can do that (sorry)

The GPU is soldered to the board and can't be removed. And the processor has no problem with running OS X (as long as it has SSE2, it can run it)

whats sse2???? and how can i install os x on mini 10 if its not gma500 then what avoids installing os x on mini 10 or mini 12. :?

[WolfKeeper]

SSE2 is an instruction set and part of CPU. It was introduced by Intel with the original Pentium 4 processors. There's nothing to install, it's already part of the Atom.

You can't install OS X because no driver supports exists for GMA 500. Either write the drivers or buy a Mini 9 (or, gasp, a real Mac) :mrgreen:

The integrated Graphics card for the Mini 10 v is a "Intel® 945GSE UMA Graphics Media Accelerator" ... NOT a incompatibel (for MAC OS X) "Integrierter Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 500"

[anguish]

The Mini 10 and the Mini 10v are different animals. Dell should have named them differently, but be that as it may..

The jury is still out on the 10v. In theory it will, but we won't know until we see it in the wild.
