Who got their AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ processor computer to run Mac OS X natively?

If you did, what were your system specs, and what did you have to do? I can't even boot mine from my DVD.

See my specs below. Im running 10.4.8 natively. I used Jas 10.4.7 DVD and updated to 10.4.8 straight after install.

 

I dont think its the CPU. Whats the rest of your configuration?

I'm also running 10.4.8, but with sse2 only. I have the exact processor from this thread, and am waiting for a full ppf release before jumping on the 10.4.8 kernel. I'm hoping that the 10.4.8 kernel will see this proc's sse3 capability.

Check my signature for configuration, mine works flawlessly!

That's my specs... I notice my processor seems to interfere... I placed Dual Core settings on VMWare and Mac OS X wouldn't boot - Single Core worked. Same goes with native... Except I can't turn a core off.

 

I don't know what to do, I'm afraid... I've been at this for over a month and no one's replied to my help topic. If anyone can identify anything, please do so.
