dcshoejake Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Alright first off, long time no see! When i first made this rig i had no intentions on making it OSX compatible, now i'm curious if it is and to what extent.. Rig Specs: Q6700 2.66GHz @ 3.75GHz eVGA 780i 500GB WD Black 2x9600GSO's or 8800GT That's the basics. I've tried to install several different versions of Leopard, the last one being iDeneb 10.5. Now im asking which one would be the most compatible or if any of my hardware will run OSX86. Thanks for the help in advance, i know how everyone hates answering noobs questions.. *JaKe* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/162465-install-and-hardware-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcshoejake Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 here you have some info :http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1095871 greetz Thanks for the link, i was wondering about the ethernet drivers.. Anyone else know of anything that might help me? I've heard of problems with the quad cores that it would only recognize 2 cores out of the 4.

Thanks for the help in advance, i know how everyone hates answering noobs questions.. *JaKe* You need to start with getting your BIOS settings sorted as per post #1 here and giving more system information such as how much MOBO RAM, SATA or PATA DVDRW(s)......also what Customize settings you are using in iDeneb 10.5.......and always booting with -v and reporting boot screen error/panic messages..... Use Voodoo 9.5.0 with Seatbelt Fix, and install nForceLAN_0.62.13.pkg.zip from here.....it will install nForceLAN for you...... Initially, do not install any video, audio and network drivers until OS X basic install is running OK......they can be installed later.....
