Hello, Reading this I'm thinking of running Mavericks, and I have some questions, please. I have a 4:3 T60/61 Frankenpad with Intel graphics only. One approach is to get a T61 4:3 motherboard with the NVidia graphics. Another approach is to get a 15.4" T61 with NVidia. I understand the Intel graphi...

Re: T61 NVidia 140m with 10.8.3: Extensions and DSDT

Hi. I am very interested in your post and am also wanting to install OS X 10.8.3 onto my Thinkpad T61 with nvidia quadro. I haven't tried installing OS X in a very long time. The last time I did it, it was probably 2008 or so. Sound and graphics drivers were not working. I saw that you responded to ...

I ordered it refurbished and it was made in 2006 - the era of T60s. The drive works but it ma...
