i have a E725 laptop with spec mentioned below. i currently have windows 7 ultimate x64 installed. i want to get latest snow leopard install. hopefully 10.6.4. i would like to dual booth. and if possible i like not have to reinstall windows 7, but if i need to install snow leopard before windows 7. i can live with that. my main issue will me hardware comparability and making sure everything works such as wireless card and so on. thanks

 

i tried hazard leopard latest version, but was told The Video kext is 32-bit, I know the CPU is 64-bit its not that, The Video kext/driver for your GPU isnt supported in 64-bit mode. so was advised to use iatkos release. but do need help with settings when installing, what to pick and get everything working. i will use Chameleon or recommended to dual boot. i have win 7installed on the laptop already and have unpartioned space of 60gb which i will install leopard on. please look at my spec and help me out. thanks

never used iatkos's SL distro. maybe post a screenshot of its install customization options/drivers and we'll take it from there?

 

I use Leohazard's distro and dual boot with chameleon rc3, and also succesfully updated from 10.6.2 to 10.6.4 from apple software update (:

default is selected:

 

iATKOS releases installed within 20mins, i was able to booth in to snow leopard. few issues remain, wireless card, LAN, graphic are still 1024 X 900 or something and sleep locks up the system even with sleep-enabler installed. also sometime when i restart it just locks up. . .i have posted more detail info about my wireless and LAN below, please help out thanks:

 

wireless: BCM4312

LAN: AR8132

video: Intel GMA 4500M

 

p.s: iATKOS release has BCM4312 drivers and i selected it but still no luck of getting it working.

 

how can i manually install those drivers like i can in windows using device manager. still need the drivers al though. my system specks are below thanks
