Hi,

 

I am considering installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my current PC. I will be using a separate HDD and later dual boot if everything works out.

 

I would like to know whether Mac OS X Snow Leopard will work on my current configuration.

 

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200

MSI P7NGM-Digital (MS-7530) nvidia chipset

BIOS: American Megatrends ver. 1.2 03/04/2009

Display: Integrated nVidia GeForce 9300/ nForce 730i

Network: Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Sound: Realtek ALC888S

RAM: Kingston 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2-6400)

HDD: WD10EURS - Windows 7

WD5000AAKS - for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Printer: HP Deskjet 3845

DVD: LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA H10A

Mouse: MS Wireless Optical Mouse 2000

Keyboard: MS Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1

Monitor: Dell S2409W

 

1. Should I use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] or [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy?

2. Are nVidia chipsets recognized by Mac OS X SL? I recall some of their previous configurations using this integrated display adapter.

3. What about DSDT? Where can I find one for my BIOS/motherboard?

4. Are there specific kexts I will require after installation? Assuming it boots...

5. Which version of SL should I use?

6. Any extra info?

 

Thanks in advance!

yes i think so, 9300 should easily work in SL

 

3. What about DSDT? Where can I find one for my BIOS/motherboard?

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], i believe, has a patch option.
