8500GT + AMD + Nforce4 + SATA + Dual Screen on Uphuck 1.4a

Hey,

 

I've downloaded the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Installation DVD (Uphuck release v1.4a).

CPU: AMD Athlon64 3500+ ( SSE3 )

Mobo: Asus A8N Sli Premium ( Nforce 4 + sata )

Graph: Nvidia 8500GT ( dual screen 1440x900 ).

I've searched trough the forums, I think the CPU won't be a problem.

But it looks like it's impossible to get the graphic card working..

Before installing I'd like to know wether it's possible to get a working OSX on this box ?

 

Cheers

 

I tried this and it didn't work. I've actually never got OSx86 running on this PC before with any distro of it. However this was the first one I tried where it detected one of my SATA Drives, (for some odd reason it was my 250GB one and not my 80GB, there both SATA). Also of course since I recently upgraded to an NVidia GeForce 8600 GT I wouldn't get any drivers for that even if it did work. I use an RS480 mobo though. We both have the same CPU, I'd say give it a shot if it doesn't work oh well. :)

Thanks for the reply, I'll try installing :)

I'll post the results :P

Guys! I actually got Uphuck 1.4a working! (still overexcited first time OSx86 has worked, i've been trying since March 2006) 8600 GT has no driver, but everything else works for me, even wireless. Also a bit off-topic but does anyone know if a EVGA GeForce 7300 GT 128MB works? I installed with no driver at all because I was already aware that the 8600 GT had no driver, however I have a 7300 GT in my closet.
