After reinstalling/formatting/installation after installation...

 

I've finally gotten my Dell Dimension 2400 to be fullly-OSx86 compatible!

 

Wireless, Sound (Input & Output), video (QE/CI), resolution/refresh rate changing, everything works!!

 

I have:

 

Dell Dimension 2400

 

Intel Pentium 4 @2.56GHz (SSE2)

 

Mac OS X 10.4.6 JaS, then updated to 10.4.8 with this guide

1GB PC2700 RAM

 

Intel i845G Chipset

 

I'm not sure which Wireless card I have, but Airport runs fine with it (compatible w/my Intel iMac :D)

 

GeForce FX5200 (Using Natit installer: http://www.necnet.de/krass.man/Installers/...0Installer.html

 

I used the "Hiren's Boot CD", to use the partitioning tools. Created a 10GB FAT32 Primary (for WinXP), and a 64GB FAT32 Primary (for OSx86).

 

Installed Windows XP, then used my 10.4.6 CD and this guide to do VMWare to Native (due to the message "SAM Multimedia READ or WRITE Failed", faulty DVD-RW).

 

Installed OSx86 in VMWare Server, then rebooted went into OSx86 and updated to 10.4.8 with this guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=35783

 

 

Then used the Natit installer and it worked!! :D I'm really happy now that it is fully-functioning!

 

Thanks InsanelyMac and Osx86Project :)
