I am still trying to figure out how to get sound and wireless working. I will have to get it working, otherwise there is no point using Mac on laptop then.

Got sound working using voodoohda 2.7.1 from Downloads - voodoohda - High Definition Audio (HDA) driver for Mac OS X - Google Project Hosting



It seems my wireless card is not supported at all for now. Need to get a new card or wait for some more time.

You mean like these?
Dell Inspiron One 2310 Review < All-In-One Desktops Review, Price, Features, Specs, User Opinions < PC World India Reviews< PCWorld.in
Lenovo IdeaCentre B300 Review < All-In-One Desktops Review, Price, Features, Specs, User Opinions < PC World India Reviews< PCWorld.in

As for the OS, not sure what's that difficult really, some different keyboard shortcuts, a dock, and other stuff. It's not really that different, if anything it's a lot more straightforward and intuitive than WIndows 7.

What I can understand is :

1. Your Mac has Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard ( Operating System )

2. To Browse files do any one of the following :

a) Left Click on the smiling face icon ( on the extreme left of the dock ), this will open the Finder, you can now browse all the files using finder.

b) From the panel click on GO menu item and from the pull down menu select the folder you want to open.

3. Thirdly, if you want to download new applications, you can use the Apple App Store or go to macupdate.com and download whatever you need.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks but are apps for MAC same as Software for Windows (Freeware Shareware etc)

I thought apps the specific word is used for utilities, games, lifestyle etc etc in only android, iphone, nokia, ipad etc, in windows games are called games, and utilities are just called softwares.. so got confused

I don't think it will support 4350 out of box.

Leopard does not come with any drivers for this. However onboard Intel Graphics is supported by Leopard.

So, you can install Leopard after removing the Graphics Card.
