hefeglass Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 after messing with this all day...i finally have my core i7 system up and running with 10.5.6 and all 8 cores working.. im using a radeon hd4830 video card, which is not supported..so i do not have acceleration... my motherboard is a MSI x58 pro..the cheapest i7 mb around....yet capable of serious overclocking and apparently compatible with osx86.! i have not gotten the realtek ALC888 onboard sound to work yet...if anyone has any help to offer...please do! i havent even tried installin kexts for it yet....im not sure how i would do it. everything else seems to work pretty well... without video acceleration i scored 345 in xbench. geekbench score was 10949 or something close to that... hopefully i can get some higher numbers when the video card acceleration works. thanks for the help! i couldnt have done this without this amazing forum! !!
