livioo Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 First of all, the reason why I am posting here is that I have no idea... let me put some emphasis on this... NO IDEA where to start researching and learning so that I could install OSX on a crappy box that's sitting around in my home. There just seems to be hundreds of thousands of pages in here and the sheer patience of searching is slipping away. But enough with the justifications... here goes: I have an AMD Sempron LE-1100 1900Mhz (Sparta core) processor capable of SSE3 using the AM2 socket; An ASrock ALIVE NF6G-VSTA Motherboard (NForce 4 (MCP61) chipset). I already downloaded the patches suggested in the component compatibility wiki and put them on a CD for post-installation use. I have no idea how to install them or anything but I will jump that wall when I come to it. Kingston 1GB DDR2 533 SDRAM memory... nVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE Graphics card (using the 7200 GS GPU... whatever the hell that means, EVEREST just couldn't make up it's mind... ) - I"m interested in knowing if Quartz will work... I would really like to experience the animations and stuff... I am not trying Leo out solely 4 the eye candy but would really love to have desktop acceleration . And a 250GB SATA 7200 rpm HDD using the nVidia MCP61 SATA IDE controller... A Genius mouse and Genius keyboard (both PS/2) but I am thinking of replacing them with USB ones... they're getting kinda crappy... And that's about it.... I would really like to know the following: 1) What version of Leo installation should I use (I heard that Zephyroth AMD 10.5.2 Rev.1 is best for me) 2) What patches will I need afterwards... I took note of the motherboard patches (SATA, network, audio), antything else? 3) Will the system be stable?... is it going to be at least moderately fast? Will updates work? I know it is hard to say right now but... you know.. from your experience... how will the installation behave? I should also add that I am a complete noob in the OSx86 scene and Macintosh in general... I am just an enthusiast... don't know a lot about programming either maybe a little C++ from highschool ... Please post a thorough guide! Don't just redirect me to other pages, posts... I have no idea what to search for and the wiki wasn't helpful to me either... I just lost hours of precious time instead of politely asking... please understand... Thank you for your patience and please excuse my english grammar or spelling mistakes if any... typing really fast and I'm not really a native english speaker either Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112992-complete-noob-o_o/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
