02-26-2009, 02:53 AM
I ordered a 16gig SSD with 1gig memory XP for conversion to OSX. I then had a "doh" moment went back and checked out the option on an Ubuntu workup. Here the options included 2gig memory and a 64 gig SSD. I intend to modify my order, but before I pull the lever I'd like to confirm that this model will go Mac. Anyone have personal experience that can confirm this? |

Either one will work, although the 64gb one will be nicer storage and memmory wise. Dell Mini 10v | Mac OS X 10.6.5 | 1 GB RAM | 160 GB HDD | BIOS A06 My Blog | NetbookInstaller code repository | NetbookInstaller Website | Want a Lockerz.com invite? message me. |

For your sleep issue: Turn of USB Legacy and Wake from USB in the BIOS. That should fix that... MBP (Early 2008 model) 2.4, 200GB 7200 RPM, 4GB Mac Mini 1.83Ghz, 80GB, 4GB The random musings of Bamf - http://www.bamfblog.net |

Isn't there a pretty big speed diff between the Runcore and Dell SSDs? I think the recomendation has been, get the mini with the smallest drive and upgrade to the Runcore. |
