tehsusenoh Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 some guy on demonoid has a video card like mine and said that he used some kexts to get video working correctly. Plus 10.4.6 is the only version that seems to work with my VIA ethernet (i think, not actually tried yet) but i'll get my cable tomorrow so i can try it. PS CPU-Z says that my chipset is intel i915P. does that need patches? and it says that my mobo is an ms-7046. is that compatible? the dvd boots fine natively. EDIT: i was looking at the kexts in vmware and found a kext called "AppleIntel915.kext". and then a bunch more with "GA" and "GLDriver" before the ".kext" could that be my chipset's driver? maybe i'll post a screenshot of the kext list. EDIT2: i just found "AppleVIA.kext" and "AppleVIAATA.kext" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65431-installing-on-external-hard-drive/page/2/#findComment-465443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tehsusenoh Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 one thing what kexts handle graphics and ethernet? i archived all of the kexts then put the zip on my windoze desktop so i could find them without vmware EDIT: nevermind, i'll see what happens w/ a normal install i really appreciate all the help edit2: skip the graphics driver. i found a universal installer for all geforce cards Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65431-installing-on-external-hard-drive/page/2/#findComment-465615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yeah, install without any drivers (except patch for your CPU if it exists). You can always sort out the minor problems later.

~pcwiz Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 You may still have to select a patch. Choose an Intel SSE3 patch if there is one. Yep, I changed by sig. Like it? You get the user bars pics from either www.userbars.org or www.signaturebar.com Download up to 10 and save them in a folder. Then go to http://www.signaturebar.com/animate/ and select all the userbars you made to animate them into a single user bar! I L O V E it.

~pcwiz Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 OK, do as needed. And the barebone kit ain't that cheap. The Bad Axe 2 MoBo is only about $200.

~pcwiz Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 There are several cheap video cards that are supported under OS X. I recommend: GeForce 7300GS and 7600GS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65431-installing-on-external-hard-drive/page/2/#findComment-469818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehsusenoh Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 what about ati cards? PS I'm an a pretty tight budget.

~pcwiz Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 The ASUS EN7600GS card is cheap ($79) and it works well and is fully supported under OS X. For ATI cards, they're more expensive than the 7600GS card so I don't think you want to go that route.

tehsusenoh Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 hey guess what! i was google-ing for usb boot and found the answer to my usb boot problem! i had the usb-zip boot option, and that is the correct one! i have award bios settings finally. going to use the titan drivers do those go on after i install like - install without titan then boot from dvd and only install titan? PS windumb is sooooo dumb. it's been to slow for me to really do anything online except download torrents so ive been surfin' the web with backtrack2 (hacking maybe, i got the REAL ip address of runescape. no seriosly ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65431-installing-on-external-hard-drive/page/2/#findComment-484123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Yeah, install w/o drivers first and then go back and install them once you have it all working. What version of Windoze are you using? I have Windoze XP SP2 Professional and its not slow.

tehsusenoh Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 i have XP MCE SP2 probably because of all the um cough*cracked* cough stuff on my pc my bios didn't have the usb-zip option, but it had usb-fdd and usb-cdrom (that cant be it ) plus, there are no more updates for my bios I have the Medion3 Director 5100 fast w/ linux, slowish w/ windoze would be great to have imovie (not in the ungodly-slow pearpc) THE LAST HOPE: i found this $200 computer on tigerdirect that is fully supported by 10.4.8 (i even has a DVD+/-RW DL drive and a 3.5 ghZ CPU) get this 256 PNY nvidia card w/ titan drivers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65431-installing-on-external-hard-drive/page/2/#findComment-485010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 There are guides on InsanelyMac to build a fully working hackintosh for $200. This thread is a couple years old but check it out: Build Your Own Mac for $199 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=274 I'd say thats a pretty good deal. Some of the parts you can't buy anymore but I'm sure that there are newer alternatives for about the same price.
