Jakweeze Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 yes yes and yes... I have all the hardware mentioned cept my CPU is different, it really doesn't make a difference though which quad you run, but do you know off the top of your head what CPU revision that is? Yorkshire or Westcott or whatever it's called? The Yorkshire's take a different BIOS revisions than the earlier named quad cores, and I'm not sure if any one has modded that BIOS yet. Furthermore while 4xxx aren't officially supported they can be run using the VESA2 driver. Sadly it doesn't support wide screen and doesn't support the special effects but oh well still good enough for me for the moment. The 4xxx series WILL be supported, it's just a matter of time. The command to force it to be a specific resolution (which you need to tell it prior to it booting into OS X) is going to be: "Graphics Mode"="####x####x32" (yes you type the quotes) now on my machine I have a native 1680x1050 monitor so the best I can run is 1440x1050 so mine reads: "Graphics Mode"="1440x1050x32" Now I'd definitely suggest after you get OSX fully installed that you put this into your startup file so it'll auto boot that method every time and you don't have to manually type it in before every OSX boot. Seek out the thread http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=112033 it talks about what you have to do to get it up and running on the P5Q-Deluxe mother board (takes a specially edited BIOS revision for starters and specific BIOS settings to even get it to install... not a big deal but if you never knew you'd be wasting lots of time trying to figure it out to no avail) Hard drive model doesn't matter as long as it's SATA and ACHI compatible, also your DVD drive will have to be a SATA drive.

kennyp Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 There is no problem running 10.5.5 on any of the P5Q MoBo with the modified Bios. I don't know about your Gfx card...but I have all cores going on a Q6600. kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
