i want to buy a HP Pavillion DV5-1160EP, here are the specifications:

Processador Intel® Core™2 Duo P7350 2.0 GHz Chipset: Intel PM45 + ICH9M RAM Memory: 3072 MB up to 8GB HD 320GB, 5400rpm GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS (1535MB, only 256NB dedicated) VRAM Audio: 3D Sound Blaster Pro (16bit) Ethernet: LAN Ethernet Gigabit 10/100/1000 Integrada Wireless: Ligação sem fios Intel® 5100

So I have a question, if i install Leopard 10.5.6, will i find drivers for GPU and audio? The wireless I know that there is not yet.

@nfoav8orare you asking about a retail install or via OSx86 install DVDs like iPC, Leo4All, Kalyway, etc?

I don't believe that the Retail can't work. I only want to use Mac OS X Leopard. I expect to use OSx86, if is possible to run retail, i could try.

My questions is about the sound card: IDT High-Definition Audio and GeForce 9200M GS (1535MB, 256NB dedicated)

Is there is drivers for this 2 devices, I mean .pkg drivers, because i read a forum on insanely mac about my sound card drivers but the process is to complicated to understand. About the GPU, i never find drivers for graphics card with more 1052MB VRAM
