do you know when will be released kernel for P4 and older?
do you know if ga-945 GME with E2200 is Snow Capable?

excuse me, but gigabyte ga-945 GME intel chipset ich7 945, and intel dual core E2200 are capable?

Yes, I am thinking to make an upgrade to my system, I change main board to gigabyte ga-945 and processor to intel core 2 E2200, but I want to be sure!

Field Note #1 @SaCleoCheater 2009-09-04

Snow Leopard does not currently work on P4s or older Intel CPUs

Field Note #2 @xXrkidXx 2009-09-04

most computers are compatible(as long as theres kexts). i mean we have support up to P3. we just have to wait for the new XNU sources so they can start patching kexts and so on for us.

Field Note #3 @xXrkidXx 2009-09-04

umm
i think so lol. dual core can retail... but you have a Pentium 4 processor... hmmh. have u installed OS X before?
