Harshwardhan Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hello all, have got this real bad urge to install OSx86 on my PC.. Here's the config: Intel Q6600 (cpuz screenie) P5W DH Deluxe 3072MB DDR2 1066 DVD RW drive 7800GTX 256MB 80GB SATA HDD I presently have Vista Ultmate x64 installed. I have already got hold of a Uphuck 10.4.9 V1.3 DVD and wanted to try it out, now questions: -Can i install this version on my config? -What would be better native or dual boot? -if dual boot, can i install OS X on a partion on the 80Gig? -Will i find drivers for my video card? (I have a 1920x1200 Display, don't want to run any resolution non native) -Will, by any chance, ethernet work? Sorry for asking too many questions?

shoarthing Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi - this will be an effortless install: check out this excellent resource for advice, howtos, & files. Personally I prefer the 'XxX 10.4.10' DVD for this mobo.

Harshwardhan Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Installed smoothly... no glitches whatsoever, internet works, sound works, at LCDs native resolution 1920x1200.. But how do i take screenshots in here?? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66186-can-i-install-uphuck-1049-v13/#findComment-470730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoarthing Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 ... But how do i take screenshots in here?? . . . quickest by far is: Command+Shift+4 [then click on desired start-corner & drag crosshair diagonally to give desired area]: will automatically put (first) snap to Desktop as 'Picture 1.png' . . or 'Grab' [in Utilities], or the 'Grab' submenu in Preview, or there's a nice freeware wrapping for all this inbuilt functionality called 'SnapNDrag' Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66186-can-i-install-uphuck-1049-v13/#findComment-470757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harshwardhan Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 @Shoarthing.. Which one is supposed to be the command key here? (I have a windows keyboard) tried win+shift+4 but didn't work.. or i didn't do it properly... anyway.. i'll look into finding the snapndrag utility.. @lizino And yes this is not the best board for Overclocking Quads but i am presently running my G0 quad at 3.0 GHz at stock voltages, and didn't felt a board upgrade was necessary as of now, this should suffice for me for another coupel of months.. I followed this method and installed on a 10Gig partiton along with my vista x64, just follow the instruction there to the world and you'll be alright. During installation i chose teh following options: 10.4.9 intel SSE3-2 IOATA..patch login window..patch ACPI..patch All VGA Drivers ICH&-R azalia audio Jmicron All application for system, mumtimedia and internet. that's all. I am having a hardtime reading stuff, infact everything seemstoo strong on the eye, the fonts are uncomfortable and blurry and screen too bright.. how do i adjust display settings? and what all should i update? Can i update to leopard? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66186-can-i-install-uphuck-1049-v13/#findComment-470794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoarthing Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 . . . Can i update to leopard? . . when [not a 'tomorrow' kind of when when] a finalised version of Leopard is released, then hacked, then patched, then re-released as an OSX86 install DVD . . . then probably yes, tho' 'updating' [to the same partition] is a relatively risky way of doing things & you'd want to have a full backup first. Some folks are running hacked betas of Leopard on this or similar motherboards.

Harshwardhan Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 I need some help people, recently i had to format my OS Disk fro some reasons and was only running Vista for a couple of weeks, but when i tried installing uphuck 10.4.9 from the same dvd install goes fine after selecting the same packages as last time but, this time, i get panic as soon as the grey boot up screen appears?!
