Hello buds :)

 

i just got a new rig and i want to install leo on one partition i have set for this task - the cofig is :

 

Mobo - GA-X58A-UD3R Ver.1.0

cpu - i930

memory - 3 x 2 giga of kingstone ddr 1333 1.5v (6g in total)

gfx - asus nvidia gt220 1giga ram

hd's - 1x wd blue 500giga 16mb buffer (that i made 2 partitions of it - 150g win7 64bit - 150g xp sp3 32bit - 200g left to crate a partition for leo) and i got 1 more hd wd black 1tb 64mb buffer that i will use for audio projects and havey sampling reads.

1x dvdr sata x24

1x psu seasonic x650

 

regarding this rig - what is the best ver of leo is out there that will fit in my case and also if there is something i need to know b4 - bios mod or so ? and is it fine to partition the 500g hd the way i did ?

 

and about ports - AHCI or IDE in this case ?

 

Thanks in advanced for any help buds :D

Do you want to use Leopard or Snow Leopard?

 

For your setup I would recommend Kakewalk (search the site) and retail snow leopard. I used the disc version and it was so easy it was scary. It does mean you have to have a retail copy of Snow Leopard though.

 

If you want to use Leopard I would recommend a DFE.iso boot disk, retail install and Chameleon.

 

In the bios you do need to set the SATA ports to AHCI. I would stay away from IDE as support is getting scarce.

 

In any case you have a lot of reading and research to do.

When I say retail that means buying a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple. I'm sure you could download a retail copy of SL from the usual sites but... its nice to give Apple their due. The ISO you're suggesting is probably a hacked disc though you'd have to read the description to find that out.

 

As to Kakewalk... I'd read the thread. Lots of good stuff there.
