Just like topic says. I just need a program that tells me the specs. This is so when I attempt to install MacOS X again using iPC 10.5.6 I can do it tge right way. I need it to tell me my chipset drivers and everything else. Thank you.

Any Linux Live system (Knoppix [-derivates], and stuff like that) is good way to access the necessary hardware informations; for example "lspci -nn" will give you informations about all PCI related devices like your chipset + the IDs of the components or "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will give you some information about the supported instruction sets of your CPU, so that you might have some closer idea of what kernel you might need to select... :)

If you do not want to look into this, CPU-z for Windows will at least give you some very basic informations.

i've installed Mac OS X using iPC before. I used VoodoKernal, PS/2 Fix, seatbelt.kext, and Realtek LAN driver. I just wanted to know which one I would use for video and such so I can get a better install and expierence with it.
