I'm trying to change to Mac OS from Windows XP
I tried many time to install Mac OS on it, iTkos, iDeneb, Leopard, Snow Leopard, etc…Unluckly I still failed to install it. There's always different error.
Anyone has same configuration and installed Mac OS on it smoothly? please kindly share your experience with me, many thanks!

What is the error or issues you are getting?

If you want, dump IODeviceTree into a text file using,
ioreg -l -w0 -p IODeviceTree > ~/Desktop/dump.txtattach that file here & I will try to give you some ways for Inject that might result in working DVI out.
