Luco Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi. I know that there are lot's of threads about this, but i really need a clear answer. I have: processor - AMD x64 3500+ mainboard - K8SLI with NVIDIA nForce4 chipset disk - 200GB WesternDigital SATA graphics card - NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT soundcard - Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 (and the one on the motherboard, but i like this one more. i can use any, which is supported (if any )) ram - 1GB DDR networking - 10/100/1000 Mbps - VITESSE VSC8201RX (PHY) via NVIDIA nForce4 can someone tell me how to install mac os x? I don't want to have a double boot. Just mac os x. No vmware, no virtual PCs. Which version should i use (JaS 10.4.6, ...)? I heard something about SATA disks... i'm worried because the SATA disk that i use. will the installer be able to install mac os on it? and will it work afterwards? And what about sse? what do i select in the install program (sse3 or sse2)? I use Ubuntu linux now, but if i'll have to have windows on for a proper install, that's ok, because i can install them in 30min. I wuld really aprechiate if someone wrote a tutorial bout it... or even better, if there is one (for AMD processors) a link. Thanks, Luco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyICON Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Uh... have you read any of the tutorials? Check out the Wiki. I agree some of them could be written better, but there's no rush. You have all the time in the world! From what I remember, all you need is a partition which is detectable by the installer, and from there, just pop in the CD and you're ready to roll! As for SATA Disks, I had an issue with it not being able to detect mine as being the primary harddisk. I had to use jumpers to resolve this issue, but that was a while ago, I don't know if anything has changed. I had the same set up as you, but I bought a new motherboard a couple months ago, so I haven't tried to install Mac OS yet. I'm not too sure if it matters about SSE2 or SSE3. Again, read the Wiki. All I know is that you need this instruction set to be able to install Mac OS natively. I have an AMD64 3200+ , I didn't have the option of selecting either. I know that AMD64 has SSE3, though. Again, I gathered all of this information from the Wiki--for the most part. Read the Wiki! It's full of wonderful goodies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luco Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Ok, sorry for the double post... now, i have read all the SATA related tutorials and i still don't know how to do it. I wuld like (if that's possible) to make a DVD image of the install disk (JaS 10.4.6) with the SATA drivers. My hardware ID is 0x005410DE. Can someone please tell me how to make this?
