It's the only user guide i have found for the 3870x2 that may actually work. my only problem is that i can't find this "ATI Radeon HD.pkg" anywhere! I've downloaded iAtkos s3 v2 and it installed flawlessly except for the video card, it gives me 1024x768 cloned on both my dvi outputs. i went onto the irc channel and people there are telling me that 3870x2 is just not compatible with snow leopard at the moment. that sucks. so then i decided to research getting 10.5.8 running on my mobo so i could get my video card to work like the person i quoted had done. so far, not so good. On all the distros i've downloaded, i can't find this elusive ATI Radeon HD.PKG. can anyone point show me the steps i need to take? Please?
