if you need anything else just tell me and i know my computer sucks its just a project i want to do. ty for all the help ^^

Use the Stock what is called 'vanilla' not the chocolate one used for AMD.

 

Intel = vanilla voodoo 9.6 version or it maybe the original not sure about this part you have to go to this page

AMD = Chocolate voodoo 9.5 version -- [my personal branding to help others imagine better]

 

For instances, (since I'm very new to this; have not put up my PC information yet)

 

I used the Chocolate which is a voodoo based kernel (modded by some kind programmers who love doing this stuff)

 

There's several, as I come to find, kernels, that are used in place of the original Mac kernels with 'hacks' or some clever programming to circumvent.

 

Read the whole page several times, because, you have to be sure. But, if at first you fail, then keep going, it took me well over a week trying different versions of OS distros, then when I was able to find one that booted after install, I had to streamline and test what works and doesn't work and then re-install, thus far I've re-installed like 6 times, because I have to be sure or else, when down the road I try some new program and it panics or some anomaly occurs, it comes back to bite one on the wrong parts. Thus, you have to have 'stability' before you go any further, thus the install process is painstaking. I haven't thrown a cd/dvd yet through the window, which is good. Tests your patience to endure hardships as well.

 

Keep at it. There are many testimonies out there, you have to like everyone else plough through them all until you find a 'decent' answer, it may not always be what you're looking for, hit or miss i
