Ok guys, for you out there that have an ASUS P6T7 motherboard, I got it running 10.5.7 off of the boot 132 on two separate occasions. (The reason is I am stilling restalling for testing purposes). I would like to know if anyone out there has the same mobo to help test with me. Also, many problems I had I finally narrowed it down to certain things. First off, I could only boot off the 10.5.0 retail disc (no 10.5.4 or 10.5.6) and I could not update everything with the 10.5.7 combo update, I had to update with the 10.5.6 combo and then 10.5.7. Also, the Gforce kexts crash on 10.5.0 (so you need to boot -x uptil 10.5.6). Lastly, I seem to have problems with chameleon 2R2 and have since then downgraded to 2R1. But it works pretty good with 12GB and all cores on the i7. In fact, I even had my memory running at 1800 (this install it seems to kp though :( ) My average geekbench was around 9500 so i think most things are working ok.

Here are some pics, you can see my geekbench score, the operating system as well as time machine backing up and how i can change the background pic of each monitor. FYI, I am running 2 3870s Xfired (obviously not in mac) and they are both connected DVI from the first vid card.

Again, I dont know how many have this motherboard, but maybe we could iron out a good guide and have a pretty good running hackintosh!

hey there im new to this forum but i have been doing a lot of reading not only here but all over on Hackintosh and such!!! i have a pc that i built recently this summers heres the config...if you want more details let me know.

 

Intel x58

Asus P6t

i7 920

6gb DDR3

HDD 3 sata

ODD 2 1ide/1sata

ATI Raidon 4800 HD

 

I have yet to find a decent guide to use for a leopard install. I already have the bios settings all fixed and my partion is setup for the leopard install. i have been trying other install options like the iatkos and iDeneb but havent been succesful with either (the biggest problem is getting a decent downloaded copy from torrents). I read before that you said a Leopard retail disk with 10.5.6 wont work? i would be willing to help get my machine running and help you both put together a guide for others running the Asus P6t and i7 combo. If you have any help or are interested in me helping with your quest let me know ASAP! :)

Can you guys help me? here is my post

Just search in like google or whatever is ur choice search engine for the the pc type and leopard and you should come up with a bunch of hits of how to do this. do some research there are a lot of guides out there and stuff. id help more if i could but im trying to do this on a completely different system config.

i have got P6T7 WS and intel 920 i7 cpu

 

well there is two or three thing that can play here in the boot process, that you need to let us know what you did about that,

did you install the mac on a partition or on a hard drive ?

did you select a boot loader to install and which one?

are you duel boot with another OS?

and what does it do when it try to boot did you get an error or what does happen at start? do you see the apple logo screen or not?

any way after you figure out what rout did you take answer us back so we can help

and i'll try to get you up and running like us so we all be on the same page trying to wrinkle out all miner issues.

good luck

Mohammad

Hi,

 

thanks you for you hard work but have you had any further progress with this Asus board. There are not many posting for this board. I am about to buy this board hoping someone can install snow leopard on it or any working OSX.

 

Many thanks

 

Heath
