Anfeldt24 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I am sick of windows and want to know if there is any way OS X Leopard can be installed on an AMD Phenom 995 and if so what other specs do i need? I called apple and they said absolutely not, only INTEL will handle Mac OS X which to me makes no sense. I have an AMD Phenom 9950 2 GB of DDR2-PC-8500 2 160 BG hard drives. SATA dvd Burner Dvd Burner Please help me join the mac world.

bptba93 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well I have a Phenom 9850 with some OS X discs laying around I could try it on. But I can probably guarantee that it's not going to work that easily. But I'll pop in the in the disc and let you know what happens.

Anfeldt24 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 thanks bptba93 that would be great because i really want to put in on but not sure how complicated it will be to install. This is my fist install of anything besides windows.

Marclh Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Try iDeneb on your computer, it works on my AMD Athlon x2 6000+ CPU. Installing iDeneb OS X is not hard if you know what hardware you have.

marcmak Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 To Answer you in regards if you can install Leopard OS X on an AMD phenom computer, the answer is YES!, My computer has an Amd phenom triple core, nvidia drivers, and its not a laptop, it an acer x3200 small form factor desktop. but you can also install it on a AMD Laptop if you want. This is one of the better distro out there for osx, for (all) amd phenom, takes a little time too download, but WORTH the wait... so enjoy! In the google search, type "Lawless PPC Leopard 10.5.4 Phenom & AMD" (already Patched for AMD PHENOM) Once you've downloaded lawless osx, the ONLY thing you have to choose is your drivers, its also comes with AMD Marvin, which patches new software from within Leopard OS X, and a kexts helper, for easy install on kexts, If you choose NOT to install driver, it will be in default, and you'll have to choose the drivers within the OS. This version rocks for us AMD freaks Its one of the better installs I have ever tried and I tried them all.... cheers...! Acer X3200 Amd phenom Triple core Nvidia gforce 8200 (needs kexts or leave it on default install works very well) nforce chip set with Lan (you need nvidia Lan kexts to go online or use forcedeth from install package) Realtec HD sound with nvidia HDMI all integrated (use ACL 888 kexts) 4 gigs ram ddr Distro-Lawless Leopard OS X 10.5.4 (using Darwin for dual boot.) Windows Vista 64 bit home edition P.S once installed, be carefull what you update, use MARVIN AMD to patch system updates, remember the system updates are written for Intel.
