I tried to hackintosh my dell 700m 3 years ago and failed. The wifi wouldn't work and couldn't get the display to use 1280x800 resolution. It was stuck at 1024x768 and I gave up installing after that. Hi nooidea, thanks. I tried to hackintosh my dell 700m 3 years ago and failed.

IDE are usually very resource hungry. I have friends who want to learn iPhone development but don't have a Mac. Let us know how was your experience with iPhone development on the Mini 10v. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who want to know too. Hi cyberguerilla, I wouldn’t use the Mini 10v for software development because it would probably be too slow for productive work.

Unfortunately, certain devices (e.g. anything Apple-related) require the use of Macs as a development platform. For example it would be very costly to buy a Mac just to get the machine to learn how to develop applications for iPhone! Maybe if I learn how to increase resolution if I get it set up with an external monitor, the development experience is better.

Basic performance is only a little snappier with the extra memory, but it definitly opens the door and will allow you to run more memory intensive programs and multitask alot easier. If you have any questions about the upgrade or need help with any issues let me know, i'd be glad to help! Victor, for what you’re describing right now you probably do not need the 2GB upgrade.

Let me play around with my Mac Mini for a little longer and see if I need the upgrade. Hi Derek, great to hear that the 2GB upgrade went well and your Hackbook Mini performance has improved.

I'm extremely happy with my Hackbook Mini 10v. I find it extremely useful for field work as well. I work in IT and lugging around a giant laptop to do simple network tasks can be a hassel. I have VirtualBox running Windows XP for everyday field use and it works great! Even with 1GB of RAM, i dedicated 128MB to the XP box and everything was still smooth sailing. Just today I installed a 2GB stick and it drastically improves performance when you have multiple windows up. It allows the OS to be much more flexible. The stick with $30 off newegg with free shipping, any DDR2 SO-DIMM laptop memory stick will do. Don't be intimidated by the isntallation! It's fairly simple if you follow the guides posted online, if you can use a screwdriver then you can perform the upgrade, it's cheap and well worth it to unlock the 10v's full potential. Great posts!
