bmnKitty Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hi! And thanks for your reply. However this guide requires you to have Leopard installed. But i have yet to get past the Apple Logo screen. Please help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/195403-installing-osx-on-compaq/#findComment-1317787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilpostus Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Try Kalyway 10.5.1. Boot with -v flag to see possible errors. Install without any drivers/patches selected. Install them later. Be sure to select EFI boot loader (ether MBR or GUID versio depending on how the disk is formatted).

booger_sniffer5000 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Use boot-132 and make sure you have a modified kernel on the pre boot disc. And the retail disc you say that came with your MacBook would be a restore disc, not a retail disc, and would not work.

heronfisher Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 A dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other. 184-pin DIMMs are used to provide DDR SDRAM memory for desktop computers. Standard 184-pin DIMMs are available in PC1600 DDR SDRAM, PC2100 DDR SDRAM, PC2700 DDR SDRAM, and PC3200 DDR SDRAM. To use DDR memory, your system motherboard must have 184-pin DIMM slots and a DDR-enabled chipset. A DDR SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM DIMM socket. (Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the Crucial Memory Advisor™ tool.) The number of black components on a 184-pin DIMM can vary, but it always has 92 pins on the front and 92 pins on the back, for a total of 184. 184-pin DIMMs are approximately 5.25 inches long and 1.25 inches high, though the heights can vary. While 184-pin DIMMs and 168-pin DIMMs are approximately the same size, 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins.
