kramer2k Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I use a Biostar NF325-A7 w/ an AMD 3400+. Runs OSX swweetly. Needs forcedeth.kext for internet, everything else works out of the box. The only downside is it's AGP (but with AGPgart.kext, it's no problem). See specs below  AMD 3400+ Biostar NF325-A7 (Socket 754) 1.5 GB RAM BFG 7800OC AGP 256MB (works with NVidiaEFI.kext) 2 Seagate 160 GB PATA 1 WD 250 GB SATA (OSX,WinXP)  All this in an Antec P180B baby!

hecker Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 do those kext. install fairly easy im a noob here do you put them on a usb stick?? Â Normally, yes. Kext files are normally of small size. Sometimes it's enough to just copy them in the right place and correct user permissions. But sometimes they need to be "adjusted". The guides in this forum are quite detailed and a lot of people will help you if you stick to the forum rules.

bushmills Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I had installed both. On my AMD s939 System Tubgirl's release worked better. Some applications like ical & Guitar Pro didnt worked on JAS release. But maybe these programs run on Intel-maschines, i dont know.
