Hello, I was wondering about this as well. I've tried only ~pcwiz's leo4vmware so far and am just getting started. I have a HP d4999t (same possible specs and mobo (ASUS IPIBL-TX) as d5000t). I will probly either dual boot or do what you are talking about because i need leopard to be fast for audio and video. Last i heard I think PCwiz was thinking about making a guide for this type of thing - running leopard natively by booting through vmware?, i think.

 

NVM here's a guide- http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11314

but i guess booting from DVD is a better method.

 

 

specs for my machine: HP d4999t

Mobo: ASUS IPIBL-TX

OS: Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1

Processer: core2quad Q9450 (sse4)

HDD primary: seagate 750gb SATA II (came with oem vista installed)

HDD Slave: WD 640gb SATA II

RAM: 3GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel SDRAM (2x1024,2x512) samsung

LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH10L)

Graphics: ASUS 8600gt (512mb i think)

usb drive: a-data 16gb 120x (may come in handy)

Battery bk-up- APC BE750G (may install PowerChute app if i end up booting natively)

 

getting soon...
