muchlife Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I had that same motherboard and processor! good thing you have a graphics card because the integrated video does not work with QE/CI I used iPC 10.5.6 and had it running. I'd say it was about 7.5 out of 10 on stability. Can certainly experience OSX a bit if your just looking to preview it before buying a real mac. Got a few kernel crashes but iTunes, Logic Pro, Photoshop, VLC media player and web browsing was working out great for a while (some logic plugins didnt install properly). I have since traded this setup for a dell intel that hackintoshed better and came with a video card since i didnt have a card for my asus board. here are some driver links i found for your graphics, using this custom hackintosh search to find related posts about that graphics card found here 71c1 http://www.mediafire.com/?8cr2ftxblyl modbin's X1650 package 71c2 http://rapidshare.com/files/67198075/MacLo...6_10.5.zip.html 71c3 http://www.mediafire.com/?49fhw4p1jy9 71c6 http://rapidshare.com/files/67198875/MacLo...6_10.5.zip.html 71c7 http://www.mediafire.com/?01gowqwdbjv x1600pro agp http://rapidshare.com/files/68289891/ATIRa...600Pro.zip.html X1700 leopard http://www.mediafire.com/?7yzmwxtzzxm If you decide to go iPC 10.5.6 route let me know, i can tell you what drivers/options i selected during customize/install to get your board and CPU up and running with Leopard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/209686-can-i-run-leopard-with-this-hardware/#findComment-1402381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

muchlife Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Okey nice to know,i think i gona buy the same parts,ihave really problems with installing it....and i can start a topic to ask help if your about to buy computer parts, buy intel. you will most likely run into problems and kernel panics with AMD setups. obviously if you already own an AMD setup, you can try and get osx running, but if a stable OSX is of concern to you, why not stay intel from the start and avoid headaches. core 2 duo and core 2 quad processors are cheap and make great hackintosh processors Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/209686-can-i-run-leopard-with-this-hardware/#findComment-1403148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
