final and 11d50 are identical.

it contains exactly the same files

it might simply be a permission problem.. fsck will not alter chmod/chown entries in /S/L/E . That's why diskutil repairpermission is needed as extra step .

Basically you can use any smbios . Thing is : Ati 4670 mobility is in iMacs of late 2009, therefore a SMBIOS of iMac9,1 - 10,1 will auto-enable graphics-energy-saver settings. But I use MacBookPro5,1 because it works best with my Core2Duo speedstepping ( I don't use any longer nullcpu.kext ) - my MBP5,1 smbios will conflict with the Ati graphics-energysettings ( AppleGraphicsPowermanagement.kext ) , so I always edit this AGPM.kext in that way that I rename all instances of iMac10,1 to just MacBookPro5,1 .. To make the Graphicscard "just work" and do so with QE/CI enabled the above details are not important. It is all about Powersaving/Eleminating the loud fan noise from the GPU.. It will work as long as your device id is 9480 and have a display that outputs via Laptop standard - LVDS ( not VGA, not DVI , not Displayport ) .

new : 11d50 .. issues : none ; same procedure as in 11D42 and 46 for Hacks.

Ati4650mobility works fine with Aperture3.2 in Snow and Lion; yours is not that much bad than mine, so it should work too is my guess.

P4 has SSE2 features which is the most important thing for OSX. SSE3 is better, but custom kernels can deal with this. Tiger 10.4.8 - 10.4.11 with vanilla or slightly modded Apple Kernel , old but very quick. Leopard 10.5.x and Snow 10.6.x ( 32bit mode only ; arch=i386 ) with a custom kernel leopard needs 512MB ram ( 1GB better ) - Sow needs 1GB ( 2GB better ) -- these two beasts are far more ressourcehungry, although Snow is faster then Leo and for Intels the best solution because it is optimized for Intels only. Lion 10.7.x is impossible as it is compiled for x64 CPUs only and this is only fun with 4GB or even 8 GB So look for a custom boot disk either Leo or Snow with a custom kernel. Search for users "Nawcom" or "Andy vanDyck" here or via google , both have done these kernels for all the OSX versions which run on almost any processors. I had long times Tiger and Leo on AMD K8 single core 1,5GhZ which is comparable to P4's features and it worked nice.

I did a 10min install video using this USB method . Maybe it is helpful for some people. It shows a 3 times reboot phase using such a USB drive: first for booting up, partitioning internal disk and installing OSX onto the hard disk second to copy /Extra folder from USB drive onto hard disk third to boot the local hard disk with the USB and install chameleon onto the hard disk. This Video is specific designed for my L500 Satellite, but the general procedure with such a USB drive is the same .. therefore : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPbZMAMAy-g
