I've finally got 10.4.8 DVD easy enough for install.
simply installed it to our IDE System drive and OS X is working well.

Installed all our software (PTLE 7.3.1cs2 with 002R) and everything works like a charm.
it even feels better than my Macbook...

However few issues that seems to be related to OpenGL limit the use of OS X...

- Visual Freeze - This is an old PT (since 7.x) bug. however with the hackintosh it's reproducible very often. especially with lower buffers (keep in mind the playback/recording DOES continue).

- SWOD when opening sessions with Quicktime video - If I open a session with movie playback starts immediately but when trying to stop it take 4-5 seconds until it response. during that time you see the Spinning Wheel Of Death smile.gif

- Improt Audio Command stops - trying to playback files from the Import Audio dialog stops the audio after few seconds and then re-initiate it.


System:
AMD Athlon64 3800+ X2
2GB DDR400
nVidia FX5200
40GB System

160GB

Probably the problem is you are not getting 3d acceleration. FX5200 is not too well suited for Osx86, some people get it running, and some other doesnīt. (I couldnīt). Check wether QE and CI is listed as compatible in System Info panel.

Also AMD systems are a bit less stable than intel ones. Just check for example iCal....
