T00CLUTCH Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I've heard from various sources around the net that it is possible to install Snow Leopard on an AMD platform? Is it true? If so, I have a few questions that I'd like answered before I make the switch. 1. Does it require a retail DVD or would a burnt copy suffice? 2. Will my computer be able to install it? (See below for spec) 3. Will the internet connect and work properly? 4. Will I be able to use the 64-bit programs, including third party ones such as Photoshop? 5. Will boot camp work, even if from a burnt copy? 6. Will their be any compatibility issues with my graphics card and Adobe products? I apologize for the many questions, I haven't really been keeping up lately. My System: AMD Athlon II X2 240 Processor 2.8GHz AM3 4GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 EVGA GeForce 9600 GSO 512 ASRock M3A770DE AM3 770 ATX AMD Mobo Again I apologize, I've just recently been infected with malware for a third time and I'm seriously sick of it. I really want to make the change. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214368-questionsnow-leopard-for-amd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

T00CLUTCH Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Bump because it was on page 4. But would I need a Snow Leopard retail dvd? Is that even possible to burn on Windows 7? >.< Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214368-questionsnow-leopard-for-amd/#findComment-1440917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

T00CLUTCH Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Well I found a way to convert dmg into iso, but I don't know how reliable that may be.

DinosOSX Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I am trying to install Snow Leopard on an AMD Phenom II machine with 790FX-SB750 chipset motherboard (MSI 790FX-GD70). I used this tutorial: Install Snow Leopard on AMD PC, Laptop I followed every step of this tutorial exactly exept the DSDT patch which failed. When i tryed to boot, i got the apple logo screen and the message that i must restart my system with the power button and the Kernel Panic: Unable to find driver for platform: "ACPI". I also tryed to boot with the following kernel flags but with kernel panics: -x32 -f -x -v and cpus=1 -f -x -v. What i must do, please help! I am a huge fan of Apple and i want to run Snow Leopard on my system. Thank you very much in advance! My system specs: AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition MSI 790FX-GD70 8GB Super Talent DDR3 1600MHz 2TB Western Digital Caviar Green SATA II ATI Radeon HD 4650 ASUS Xonar D2X Sony/Nec Optiarc DVD-RW SATA II Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214368-questionsnow-leopard-for-amd/#findComment-1442079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
