while installation i choose customize and selected NVinject for XFX-Nvidia 7300GS and for audio i selected all since i don't know what to choose (bad idea..) .after booting into mac i got some error for those plugins which i selected for audio and then i deleted those kext file in system\library\extensions.Now no errors as well no sound.

Author Update #6 @demigod 2008-02-26

i have a Samsung SyncMaster 920 NW 19" wide screen display. when i was using it in windows vista i got 1400x900 @ 75Hz (i installed monitor driver for this)
But here in MAC at the max resolution of 1400x900 @ 60Hz.i am pretty sure that this monitor supports 75Hz @ 1400x900. how can i get that refresh rate. with this 60Hz text are not clear and broken.

to fix this.

Field Note #2 @cgsheen 2008-02-21

Ya, an 8139 is a 10/100 chipset. If you want gigabit, get an RTL8169 based card. Airlink101 and Trendnet cards generally use the Realtek chipsets. Look at newegg.com or frys.com.

Did you find "beta4some861_880Installer" at insanelymac,com? That'll make your onboard audio work.

sigh - here it is... Go down through Taruga's post:
