What brand of the 7900 GTX 512 MB works for the Quadro FX hack and hackintosh usability ?

LTL, on Apr 19 2008, 05:37 PM, said:

My system was not so good with the 8800... My system with the 3870 is flawless (natit in my guide) - my GF is very happy and my sleep patterns are good I highly recommend itI asked Netkas personally which card he recommended and he said the 3870... i have never questioned that choice BUT... if your bent on getting a Nvidia... here is some advice:Cards I would recommend in order of hackintosh goodness are as follows:No 1: BFG 8800GTX OC2 768 MB. Same physical layout as Quadro FX 5600 and can be flashed to this card quite easily. Currently the king - No 2: 8800 GT 512 MB.No 3: 7900 GTX 512 MB Still a heavy hitter and can now be picked up at a fairly budget price on ebay. Needs flashing though to work with a hack. Can be flashed to Quadro FX 5500.

Good stuff, but I don't think I will be able to do the same.

Also why SL appears easier to install cause by defaults it has more drivers included ?

Hi,



I'm getting error while installing bootloaders (while they're patching DSDT particularly),

it says DSDT text file not found ....

and its repeated like 15 times and then prompts to restart after installation complete notice . (on bootloader installation)
I'm on core i7 CPU and can only start setup with cpus=1 and busratio=20 ! cannot boot up after setup though with any flags !!

any ideas what I should do ?!

Thank you! I can't seem to get past the installation. With both iDeneb and iAtkos (iDeneb burned at slowest speed possible) I got the Dirty Disc please clean and try again notification. Help?

So this Chameleon thing, it's like a dual boot selecter but with GUI?

Hi guys! 



I am a little stuck and would like some further explanation if someone doesn't mind helping me out.

I followed this simple guide to install retail Leopard here.


I have Retail Leopard Installed, and I am sitting in Kaly, ready to install kext, cause when I boot Retail Leopard doesn't recognise my keyboard.

I have downloaded correct kexts, I just don't know how to install them properly to make them work.

I tried copying packages from kaly DVD and installing them into new partition with retail leo, didn't work I had to reinstall.
I tried following another guide on installing kexts and repairing permissions but I found it to be very user-unfriendly for newbies at this thing, I didn't understand the lingo used. 


This is the part I am up to in the whole installing retail leopard process: (Leo 10.5.6)

Now to remove incompatible kext or install requird one
Put kext file in the user folder(users/currentuser(yourusername)/
Open post patch change (destination=Name of Drive where retail leopard is installed)
Open terminal and drag drop post patch
this included Sound file is for GA P35 DS4 or similar Gigabyte motherboard & GFX EFI string for nvidia 7600 GT Card
Make sure in Post patch sh file you replace with drive name(Leopard) with yours Drive name
Boot with new Drive and enjoy  Good luck with your built





Thank you in advance
