I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6119tx laptop. Its configuration is as follows:

Intel Core i5-2410M 2.3GHz
4 GB DDR3 RAM
640 GB SATA HDD
AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1 GB GDDR5)
Intel HM65 Chipset

Please tell me whether Snow Leopard and Lion are supported on this laptop.

P.S. I am planning to create a dual boot system (Windows+Mac).

Lion support for PowerPC has been dropped. You can't install Lion.

Best Laptop you can use to intall LION with all features working is : Dell Studio 1558.

I have just installed LION in one partition with Windows 7 ( Dual Boot configuration)

Everything is working : except the following

1. Battery Status : Not Working

2. Wireless : Not Working. ( I'm using Photon+ , hence not necessary for me!)
