Also some ATI are working (i.e. 2400XT, 2400Pro, 2600XT etc) but with problematic installation for a new hackintosh user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 9800GTX+? but update to SL, your machine can handle it, most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio_multi Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 9800GTX+? but update to SL, your machine can handle it, most likely. His system support SL, but not the sound card that works only with 10.5.2 RME HDSP 9632 sound card "i have found out that on my current hardware i can run only 10.5.2, because my RME have problems with newer versions" The user is interested to works with RME HDSP 9632, not only to install Mac OSX. The graphics cards that I have suggested are for Leopard 10.5.2 (Nvidia series 8). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel3914 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 try the radeonhd.kext for 10.5.x that might work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio_multi Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 try the radeonhd.kext for 10.5.xthat might work for you. Perhaps only change resolution, not QE/CI (that are very important). Thanks Giorgio_multi you've been very helpfulso, i found a list of 8400GS with all kind of menufactors, asus, gigabyte, sparkle.

If you can, buy a 8500GT or 8600GT. There are also many 8800GT used to low price (try to ebay) 8400GS can have some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
