I'm pretty sure that most people would ignore this post, but I'll reply. It should work, but do some research on everything you possibly can before installing.

Also, check out the site's Wiki too. Its pretty helpful with stuff you may encounter.

While I am kinda thrown off by rocafellabryan's post... yeah, anyways.

Its not specifically listed amongst the ASUS motherboards here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...CL_10.5.2#Asus but I'm fairly certain some are similar and can use similar setups as listed. It never hurts to give it a try... Leo4All is a good distro that isn't completely set aside for AMD... Kalyway is a good series too. also, don't think you need to get the newest distro out there... you can update through good apps that will get you to 10.5.5.

i don;t want to make another thread just for me so...
here is my system:
- AMD Phenom 9950 X4 Black Edition 140W - (has SSE4a too)
- MSI DKA790GX - AMD 790GX , SB750
- OCZ Platinum 2*2GB 1000MHz
- Asus Geforce 8600GT Silencer 512 DDR3
- Creative Labs X-Fi Xtreme Audio
- Western Digital SATA2
- Asus DVD-RW IDE

i have 2 partitions :
C - NTFS with Vista x64 (~97GB)
D - Unpartition (~56GB)

first i tryed Apple.Mac.OSX.Leopard.10.5.2.AMD.EFI Rev1 then someone told me that it uses EFI-PC and i couldn't use it, so i download : OSX86 Leopard For AMD LawlessPPC-Leo-10.5.4-Phenom&AMD link
and after i gave the -v command it says : still waiting for root device

i've tryed to change from IDE to AHCI with no luck

please if you have any hints pls tell me

Misi - I suggest you post over on the LawlessPPC thread and have a look through it. Have you read the systems its supported on? I know the Sb700 series has issues so you may want to look through those threads as well for more guidance. I always feel its better to learn through reading problems others have experienced and fixed. This should give you a little more insight as to the workings of the system so you'll know what's going on when things go haywire.
