RichardScarry21 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Great post, it worked just as smoothly with me for the most part; thank god, I couldn't figure out how to do it on my dell. Also, this worked very easily dual booting with Vista 32bit. I liked Darwin boot loader best, so I use OS X partition as the boot Only problem is with the unstable X1400 video card. Everything works, just at a low-res. ---- I may experiment with other kernels. Do you know any conflicts? Or is speedstep the best?

Any help / advice you could provide would be very helpful. Thanks.
