Core i7 is supported since the Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel (long before Apple did it ), drivers for your Radeon 4850 you'll find here. Try the XxX 10.5.6 for installing, it worked perfectly for me and contains a 9.6.0 kernel. But there are no additional languages on this image, if you need one you have to install them later.
2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.

hey i posted something very similar, i have tried to look for other similar posts since the i7 is what people are generally upgrading to these days, the more popular a piece of hardware is the more they will develop distros to suit our hardware. Im getting XxX osx 86 as we speak and have been told by others with i7 core tech that it works flawlessly. I cant wait to get home and try for my self after distros like iPC iAtkos IDeneb etc. turned up bad and useless. BUT last night i used iAtkos and got a clean install - to my knowledge it worked fine, but i wasnt able to boot in (even trying the -x safemode option). Check my post http://www.infinitemac.com/f7/working-distro-t2450/...
if you have another distro besides XxX v2, try using this: im not expert but i know u'll only be using a single core... at F8 boot installation type... busratio=20 fsb=133 cpus=1 -v -f Specs:AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.61GHz-ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE-NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI-PCI-E ATI Radeon X1900 XT-2x SATA1TB / 1x IDE120GB-Audigy2ZS-NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller-2x 1GB DDR2 PC2-6400 400MHz GEIL-Apple IphoneJailbroken 2.2 8GB |

core i7 - processor appears to the OS as eight CPUs (4 cores)
i finally got an installation to complete but when i went to restart and boot into the installation it kept restarting, so i used busratio=24 cpus=1 fsb=133 -v -f and then it gave me the error "using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers".... Can someone please help me with what kexts i need to replace and where i can get them from???
