Most up-to-date OSx86 Distros are Universal ones that work on most hardware - the more your configuration is very easy - so just get one out of the latest releases, like iAtkos v7, iPC PPF5 or something like that.

You maybe will also need to add a kext file for making OS X work on your nForce Chipset..

+++
AMD Phenom X3 8450 - ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA (BIOS L2.39) - 4GB DDR2-800 - Radeon HD 4650 512MB - Snow Leopard Retail (retired) / OpenBSD

And I don't understand, why the hell you should be forced to do so?!
I don't see any reason for that...

What OSX with my Hardware
MBD - MSI G45 Digital (MS-7521)
Chipset - P45/P43
SB - Intel 82801JR (ICH10/R)
CPU - Q8200 Quad Core
Instructions - MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1 EMT64T
Video - GeForce 9800 GT
Memory – 4096

I've tried to load iDeneb 1.4 on it and it would go through and stop on restart. So i've tried 1.6 and i get a Kernel Panic on the start of the installation. I'm waiting for a friend to give me a version of iAtkos that will work on my hardware. Do you foresee any problems with the hardware as stated above.
What i have seen is that the Graphics card only registers 14mb (VESA 14mb (nVIDIA)) just before the installation starts. (It does see it as 512 in the POST of the machine.)
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Werner

PS. Just added my hardware to the SIG

Hello,

I have a HP Pavillon 8150 Dual Core 2,8 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 64 bits capable, with NVidai graphic card EN8800 GT. I run Leopard 10.5.8 on it without any problem with a mach.kernel.voodoo.

I would like to know is if this computer is capable of running SL (a dual core). I tried to install it once, but after the boot, I got just the Apple icon without the spinning wheel.

Thank you for your answer.

I am a little concerned that when i boot, Darwin reports the following
VESA 3.0 14MB (NVIDIA). As far as i can gather that is reporting the video memory wich is supposed to be 512, not 14. Any ideas on that ?
Regards

Actually, I didn't found any other solutions so... Maybe others distributions are out? Can someone tell me one distribution that may work with my computer?

Thanks!
