Hello there,

I finally successfully installed MAC OS X86, on AMD motherboard ECS Elitegroup MCP61M-M3 using Ideneb 1.5.1

Works great, audio, ethernet, everything - but the internet seems a little slow for some reason, and its not in windows, maybe an ethernet issue?
Also the operating system is unusuable if i dont type in the command MAXMEM=4096 or MAXMEM=2048 at boot. I have 6 gigabytes of ddr3, any workaround does anyone know to utilitise all 6 gigabytes?

Other than that, it works great, if I remember correctly I had to use an IDE dvd rom reader to install, because I got still got waiting for root device with my sata DVD drive during installation.

Oh and all 4 cpu cores work on my AMD phenom, in osx86!

Other than the few issues, mac osx86 is great, and I type in this forum using it right now.

Oh and if you want to use onboard sound, use azilla for this motherboard, for some reason the others dont work.

Use Slashack's AppleNForceATA.kext which will allow you to use > 4GB RAM. And because of the nForce 430 chipset, your DVDRW needs to be a IDE (PATA) DVDRW jumper-set and connected to the MOBO as Master via an 80-wire IDE cable.....
