3.14r2 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Well, can't say 100%, but most likely it will be OK to istall OS X. I have system with the same Socket and CPU. It works without any serious problem. One will need to use a patched kernel... EDIT: Dell PowerEdge 1600SC moboActually it is http://www.xpcgear.com/supermx5deigg.html Supermicro X5DEi-GG Serverworks MB Some additional info http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1547488 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.14r2 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm afraid not. Read this quotation from the guide you are referring to NOTE: Just like the last post, this guide is focused specifically on the hardware I suggested in the previous guide—specifically the motherboard. If you try following this guide on other hardware, there's a very good chance it won't work as advertised. If you would click on the link provided, you would notice that: different motherboard is shown totally different CPU is shown The guide assumes that you have vanilla-compatible hardware, so you could run a stock OS X kernel and use unmodified system files (more or less) on it. Your hardware IS NOT vanilla compatible because: the CPU you are using can not run original OS X kernel because it doesn't support SSSE3 instructions - only SSE2 and SSE3 + EMT64 the chipset you are using can not be used without some modification/addition of files To conclude, you should look for some other guide that is aimed for SSE3 CPUs. Though most of them may be outdated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freqabeat Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 do you know if i would have to do the same thing with Leopard 10.5.8? And if so, where is the best place to get the install/patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
