  1. Dell Inspiron 530 Hackintosh

Inspiron 530, RAM limit, 8GB works Just wanted to make a note that an Inspiron 530 works fine with 8GB RAM. Also interesting is that a Hackintosh can be made to work great on this machine with iMac14,2 ID. Yesterday i completed the configuration of my hackintosh! This machine is a Dell Inspiron 530 and it is now dual booting vista and os x nicely. I am posting today because i have just uploaded some drivers. These drivers are for the Belkin F5D7050USB Wireless G adapter which i had to use because i could.

Yesterday i completed the configuration of my hackintosh! This machine is a Dell Inspiron 530 and it is now dual booting vista and os x nicely.

I am posting today because i have just uploaded some drivers. These drivers are for the Belkin F5D7050USB Wireless G adapter which i had to use because i could not get my built in NIC to work and i don’t think that it would have worked at all.

In case anyone else has similar issues and has bought one of these network cards – here is the download:

Please note that the download is for the WLAN cards with the ZYDAS chipset only. I do think however that there are OS X drivers for the card with the REALTEK chipset also.
