    The Z-series Sony permits you to exactly switch between the 9300m distinct graphics and the included graphics (Intel 4500) that OS X will hold as soon as they get on board of Montevina. So you can just run OS X on the integrated graphics. Personally I wouldn't hackintosh it if not you really need to use some Mac-only software. Vista since SP1 is very decent I find. Extremely fast and stable. They have fixed the slow-copy bug. The boot time still sucks balls though.

    ....... He said wireless card, not video card.

    I actually have the same question. I looked in the manual, just to confirm, the wireless card CAN be switched out, right?
