Ok so I have OSX Installed using Hazard's distro. Everything seems to work fine after the install. It even boots up pretty fast. However, its showing considerable lag for whatever reason. Sometimes it even freezes up. I'm pretty sure I picked the wrong kext or something.

Here's my setup

CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9350e
Mobo: Biostar A780L
Chipset 780G
Southbridge SB700
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 240 1GB
1 Kingston 30GB SSD
2 Seagate Barracuda 1TB Sata Hard Drives
4GB RAM

I have a similar problem like this before on older computer set up and the problem was resovled. But this time around with this different setup it seems a little more difficult.

Hopefully one of you can help me out with this vexing situation. It will be greatly appreciated!

Don't bother to respond..after seeing that there were 48 views and no one seemed to be able to help, I had already worked on the problem myself.

So now I have a fully working 10.6.7 on my AMD machine.
