So, I checked if my processor is ok: it is
I have enough ram and hdd space but my question is: Has anyone tried running OS X 86 on a SiS motherboard?

It seems so, yeah.

Couldn't tell you if it's an SiS motherboard outright, but my Acer Aspire 1703SC is riddled with SiS integrated components and works fine, the two issues are the onboard ethernet and cardbus don't function, but the display works fine (resolution has to be changed via boot.plist atm because I haven't installed a laptop display kext yet), sound is functional without any of the stuttering or crackling problems others are getting, and USB doesn't seem to be suffering any issues with USB2.0 either.

Tiger is working fine in my 651/962 SiS chipset Mobo:
Usb 2.0: ok
Ethernet: Ok
Ide: Ok (modfiying id in Via Sata Plist file)
Integrated Sound (Cmi 8738): Ok
Only issue is Agpgart: beta version is incompatible with callisto so I prefer to have QE and CI in Pci card... I can even play 3d games and see DVd disc

Running 10.4.6 goatsec dvd.

Thanks, man! I thought I had to stick with Vista till the end of time! So, now that the motherboard is ok, how about the integrated graphics - SiS M760. I'm not very good with understanding video cards.

My onboard video is an M650, I doubt there will be a specific kext for you (there isn't for me) but it will still display just fine. Bear in mind that if it's a laptop you won't be able to use the Quartz Simple trick since you're not using a specific driver (kext file) made for the SiS chipset. Disabling beamsync still works fine.

In order to change your resolution you will have to edit your com.apple.Boot.plist file though, in my case I added the following lines via the "sudo nano" terminal command:



It's detected by Darwin as VESA 3.0 compliant so you can have the refresh rate in there as above.

Assuming you're completely green to OS X:

Start Terminal (in your utilities folder) then type the following commands

sudo su (then enter your root (administrator) password - this enters super-user mode so you don't have to authenticate the following commands individually)

cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

sudo nano com.apple.Boot.plist

Use your arrow keys/tab key to navigate below the existing video settings (below the line ending with </key> and above the next <string> one (if applicable)), then enter the code I posted above, replacing the resolution/colour depth/refresh rate with your own settings, make sure you're certain they're supported (IE: You've used them in Windows etc. and know the chipset and display support it already). When you've finished making the changes hit CTRL+O and then Enter to save them.

After that whenever you start OS X it'll be in the resolution you specified.

mmm i dotn understand i have a sis motherboard or w/e well that what they say and i cant install osx on my xp and when i boot it,it freezes at the apple logo,there isnt even the spinning thing


can u tell me how to do it the easy way im kinda noob
