AmyA Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hello everyone, I'm trying to find out if my hardware would be compatible for installing Leopard on my desktop PC. I've researched it and can't find much info on it compatibility wise. I did find one compatibility list that seemed to have hardware closely similar, but it used a different ISO (Leo4All older ver. 2) download then what I currently have. I've burnt the Kalaway 10.5.2 Leopard ISO (downloaded off the bay) and tried to boot it, but after it seems to start loading (with some lines of text) it restarts again. This will keep happening until I boot back into Windows. If I try to boot with -x it'll go for a little longer loading stuff- a bunch of lines of text, then restarts the CPU again. My current setup is: Motherboard Model & Man.: AsusTek p4p800-E 1GB RAM DDR Processor: sse2 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.66GHz Chipset: Intel i865P/PE/G/1848P Southbridge Intel 82801EB (ICH5) Memory type: DDR Video card: NVidia GeForce 5200 Hard-drive type: IDE (separate HDD from my XP OS) Controller is Intel: 82801EB Graphic interface: AGP ver. 3.0 So do you think this is a compatibility issue? Would it work better with a different download- like Leo4All? Any advice/suggestions here would be great. Thanks, -Amy P.S. Yes I admit I'm pretty much a newbie, but I've been spending hours in the forums learning as much as I can, and I'm up to the challenge ;-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115072-is-my-cpu-compatible-got-problems-booting-install-dvd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexy.Hot.Mac Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 lol. ima noob too! same prob, but im running AMD. Anyways. ive bin looking for answers for three months now and i saw somewhere that pentium 4s arent the greatest to use with leopard. i could be wrong (more than likely) but i think that coulb be why. what line of text does your pc reboot at? i found that if i boot with speedstep kernel i can get it up to the 'TMsafetynet.kext' this has something to do with time machine. dont ask me wat...

steenamaroo Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 the best bet for you guys would be to find the HCL or hardware compatibility list for you install version on wikipedia. there you will find lists of compatible motherboards,processors,,graphics cards,,etc etc/ hope that helps.
