I don't really know where the proper place is for this so i posted it here. I have installed a retail snow leopard install on my amd system and everything works but i found out i have to patch the cpuid to get stuff like itunes working. i downloaded marvin's amd utility but i am not sure where to get my cpuid.txt from is there someone who could help me out?
Edit: Figured it out by following some steps form this tread: http://www.infinitemac.com/archive/index.php/t-425.html
Run Marvins and select the second option (create a patcher package?) - let it search your entire install disk (might as well...)
Once it's done, it'll put a folder on your desktop
Personally, I open the folder, find and copy "patcher" and "cpuid.txt" to my "root drive" (your "working" drive - the one you installed OSX to...)
Restart
(you need to boot into "single user mode")
Press a key to stop the countdown
type -s and hit Enter (to start single user mode)
(it'll display lines of text and eventually stop at a "command prompt")
type the following: ( hit Enter at the end of each line )
mount -uw /
./patcher ./cpuid.txt
(lots of text saying what it's done)
reboot (restarts the computer)
