Desperate on this as well. I upgraded to a GeForce GTS 450 from on-board GeForce 8200 (no QE/CI) had to use Opera for Youtube LOL

Problem in 10.6.8 is my system freezes! I am actually running a QuickTime video on the background just to get a few hours of use. Before I could only use the system a few minutes.

Next thing im going to try (since I don't use it) is disable the HDMI on the board.
im asuming u on 10.6.8 AMD with nawcoms latest kernel ...if thats the case go back a few kernels like to 10.6.6 or 10.6.5 to avoid the freezes and when u do that be shure also go back in ACPI Kexts otherwise older kernel won't boot ..the freezes occure since the kernel changed a bit from older version wich he wasn't able to solve yet

can't wait
 
Just when I though I was out.....They pull me right BACK in! (quote from Godfather III ;))

I was gonna stay with 10.6.7 with my AMD system, but now I see the light!

Thanks Andy!

I solved the freezing issue by running a script that opens a blank mp4 and sets the window size to 0,0,0,0 before I was hiding it but it was putting the GTS 450 to sleep and it would freeze. Ive had 3 days running without a freeze now. BUT I would like Lion 10.7 if possible. I have AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ CPU. And I am using Legacy Kernel 10.8 (by ????) <-- how do I find out?

Now some minor changes to the build scripts and I can upload the sources + built product (NOTE: I'm using Xcode 3.2.6 atm for building them, wastez will afterwards recompile the sources with Xcode 4.1 for final build)
Hi Andy, been a while since you posted the above. Any update for us? Thanks again for the work on this. You've got more than a few of us w/ AMDs itching to move to lion :)

I'm starting to hear more firm release dates on bulldozer too. Fingers crossed that it won't be too tough to get it working in osx.

nawcom may do it again!

Sweet! Would love a lion AMD kern.

My big worry is that bulldozer comes out and is as good as I hope and we have to wait a year or three to get a patched kern for it :/

Hmm, why dont u switch to Intel instead buying those new AMD processors? When they come out, Intel will have to reduce prices and the only extra cost for you will be new MB.

Not sure intel will drop prices. Right now it's ~3-4x cost difference to go intel between pricey mobos and way overpriced cpus. My 3 year old $100 (cheaper now) phenom2x2 unlocked 4 core and OC'd to 3.8Ghz has been a great thing for price/performance. My mobo was $39. Soooo short answer, I'm a cheap bastard ;)
