I have an almost perfect running snow leopard

Phenom II x6
GA-MA785GM-US2H

Snow leopard By Hazard 10.6.2 Install works perfect with update to 10.6.5 with new Legacy kernel and instructions on nawcoms blog. EXCEPT

32 bit Programs instantly crashing.

I am TOTALLY new to this... Go easy on me! the only things i am totally blind on is the CPU patching, and patching in general.

The issue: Marvins AMD utility not opening, it crashes, as well as instant crashes on all 32 bit apps (that means ALL of my apps to help me out in osx86). I downloaded the Sysenter package from nawcoms blog with various files included to patch with the new legacy kernel to load both 32 bit apps and 64 bit apps.

but,
I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO IT!
If anyone could give me a complete idiots guide how to patch sysenter, or some help, i'd love you forever. I really need to be able to open Marvins AMD.

If you need any additional computer information DO NOT hesitate to ask me.

You don't. Use the patcher app made by anyvand, to patch /usr/lib/libSystem.B*.dylib file(s) and CPUIDs in pure 32-Bit code lile Carbon Framework. - Look for further instructions in the corresponding threads in the "New Releases" forum.
