In this part of the guide, I’ll be covering upgrading to 10.6.4. You can read the first part of this guide here - Installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on the Dell Inspiron 1525

This is an update to my previous guide. I’ve since changed platform for my site — and even changed computers — but there is enough interest in this guide to warrant a re-write, so here we go. I’m going to be walking you through installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4 on your Dell Inspiron 1525. The configuration of your Inspiron 1525 might differ from mine, but generally most of the hardware will be the same.

I’ve had a Dell Inspiron 1525 for about 18 months now. It’s not my main computer, so I’m often messing with it. Some time last year I made the jump to running OS X Leopard on the Dell, with some work and guides put in by the folks over at the InsanelyMac forums and a guide by Espresso Report/Daily Blogged. I had Leopard running on my Dell perfectly, and all of the hardware that I cared to work worked. Earlier this month I decided that I wanted to subject my Dell to being a test bench for Windows 7, so I decided to run that on the Dell for a while before running it on my main computer. Now that I have no need for Windows 7 on my Dell I’ve decided to return to OS X, but this time with the newly released Snow Leopard.
