2LMan Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 This forum is a great place to start, but please use the search function. Search for AMD DVD Leopard. That is more than likely the release for you since you have an AMD processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate256 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 i would say your grapichs card should work very well idk too much about AMD so i would say search ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate256 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Give the Wiki a try! that helped me get my computer going. well i guess you can try Both the Leapord and Tiger if you wanted to see which one works better, if you have that time if you are putting it on another harddrive what do you have to lose?? if it doesnt work then all you lost was the money for the harddrive which can be used in windows I cant give you links to the torrent but you can use the Kalyway for 10.5.1 and 10.4.10 use google! i looked at your mobo and you might not be able to use the ethernet but i do not know. be prepard to invest in some new parts or you could be lucky!!!!

nate256 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 i dont know what you said!!! :] double check your spelling before you post!!! As for the ram...you don't need drivers, it should work fine, as far as i know. the only problem i had was it shows up as 1 gig, 000 Mhz. but it is working fine!! so the only down side is it wont show you the speed of the ram. good luck!!! don't worry we are here to help!!
