GeForce 6150 SE
no, it will not work. this series (6xxx) is not supported
download ´OSX86 tools´. then try to activate it.
Buy a pcie graphics card like an 8600GT or anything that works with the 531's 300-watt psu.
Again I would seriously suggest looking into a PCI Express graphics card. Something that you can find reference of being compatible as QE/ci is a must. Check everyone elses specs as this would be a good start. scififan68 referenced his card and my 7600gt has worked well.
you could also try different nvidia drivers with os x, i have 9400gt and it works good with the 8800gts driver all is enabled.
I think the primary issue is On-Board graphics in Creatorp's case.
Some 6xxx Cards are supported, for instance a long time ago, I ran Tiger perfectly well on an nVidia GeForce 6200 AGP, I believe it also worked for Leo too.
As for the 6150 SE, not a chance using kexts, and I don't think you'll find much support for that card.
It seems quite a few people are starting to fall back into the forum scene
