RETAIL INSTALLATION A8N-SLI Premium SLEEP Working. (opteron 165 - 4GB -XBENCH SCORE 92)
Only 4 kexts needed 3 for devices and Fakesmc.

Boot from a good Leo/Snow pc.
Attach a drive (sata, ata, usb.. as you like)
Do a Chameleon 2 RC4 setup on the above storage
Perform a OSX Retail Setup Preferently 10.6.4, mounting the iso, with the doubleclick in the OSINSTALL.Mpkg
Install Legacy_kernel_10.4.0
Copy dsdt.aml and com.apple.boot.plist provided to /extra, fix permissions.
Copy the following kexts to Systems/library/extensions (Not Extra), repair permissions, rebuild cache:
FakeSMC.kext (from http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1206 ↗)
AppleAC97Audio.kext (look for 64bit one)
skge.kext (0.2f)
AppleNForceATA.kext (64bit ANV)
(EDIT) Sleepenabler.kext

IMPORTANT 1
BIOS SETTINGS key to get good performance and avoid the spinning pizza wheel. :dev:
Peg Link mode: disabled, Peg Root Control:disabled, Peg Buffer Length: Auto.

IMPORTANT 2
this dsdt is for 7600gs if you want to get your card working and is different from this one you have 2 simple options:
1 Edit dad NVIDIA card info.
2 Install NVENABLER.kext

If you have another graphics card, I don't have experience about.

Regards. Dragon
