Thanks - I'll definitely keep my eyes open for either of those. I appreciate the advice!

Edit: just noticed that it's integrated Radeon graphics. Those are not going to work, you will need to get a discrete card.

Ah - damn. Thanks alot for the clarification, though. Any recommended, inexpensive cards which will work without tweaking?

Thanks for this brilliant guide. I managed to get 10.5.4 running on my previous motherboard four years ago, but that machine bit the dust last year and I've just gotten around to attempting a Snow Leopard install this weekend. Thanks to this guide, I've got 10.6.3 running on the following hardware:

Motherboard: AsRock A75-HVS
CPU: AMD A8-3870K
RAM: 4GB Corsair DDR3
GFX: Integrated HD 6550D

Busratio=22 was the key to success, it seems. The wireless card is Mac compatible, so I've got net access, HD audio, but no graphics acceleration yet. I'm getting the impression that HD 6550D GFX support is limited / experimental, but I'm slowly getting reacquinted with all the KEXT editing stuff I've forgotten about over the past couple of years. It would be nice if I could get the graphics card working, since everything else is working a treat.
