Update..

AMD Machine I've sucessfully have it running. What I had to do was delete all my partitions on my HDD and only have OSX installed.

Now that issues that I'm having now is AppleNForceATA units not found. It will hang but then it will finish booting up.

I have a delay after its been booted and im on the finer..I have to wait couple minutes before using my keyboard or mouse not sure why.

And one more thing..My resoultion is stuck 1024x768. I need 1440 Resolution.
