harper Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Okay, so tonight was kinda the final straw... yet another spyware infestation on uh... you guessed it, Windows XP... WITH anti-spyware and anti-virus installed and running in the background. Never mind, so I would seriously want to make the move to Mac OS X now, before it gets suggested money IS a factor so unfortunately I can't rush out tomorrow and buy an iMac (believe me, as much as I want to) I have tried installed OS X 10.4.1 which worked, with the exception of no widescreen resolution (1280x800) - I could only get 1024x768, no wireless networking and no sound I then reverted to the dark side (Windows) and few months down the line tried 10.4.5 I couldnt even boot from the DVD properly, I had tried pc=x86pc and other switched etc etc... So now, I am looking for the geniuses here to help me figure a few things out, mainly on getting my hardware to work under Mac OS X, heres a few details... I have a Turion64 with SSE3 so would like to use SSE3 obviously. My wireless card is integrated into the notebook, I have a 'Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter' according to Device manager. My graphics chip is 'SiS M760' --- last time got to res of 1024x768. No widescreen 1280x800. SiS 760GX chipset. The notebook is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1645 Any help is appreciated!! massive TIA Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14803-third-mac-os-x-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Java Duke Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I had several issues with booting from the DVD until I updated my DVD drive firmware (I have a Plextor 740A), so you may try to do that too.
