Hello,

I think it will work!!! For the CPU and the graphics card i can say this for sure. Itīs just the mainboard i donīt know but that should be no problem.
I would not install 10.5!!! If you wanīt to use a distro i would use Hazards 10.6!!!

Good luck!!!

10.5 is Leopard.. 10.6 is Snow Leopard right?
Are you sure Hazards will work with my CPU and GPU though?

Because I've heard Zepyroths and LawlessPPC are the only Phenom Compatible Distros?

Thanks heaps :D

If this is a version of leopard you will not get your graphics card to work. ;)

Yes, the minimum is 10.6.4 so that it works.

Which info did you mean?
My info that the Radeon 5770 works with full resolution and qe/ci since 10.6.4 is true for sure.
