Show Processor Name
I have a GA-EP45T-DS3R running a q9550 Core 2 Quad. System Profiler does not show an entry for Processor Name. This is used by many programs to determine PPC vs Intel. Since mine does not exist, many programs assume PPC and it causes issues. How can I fix this annoying issue and just get my processor name to show up properly?

I am sure this is a very common problem, the time between my Windows install and my OSX install does not match. It isn't a huge deal, just more annoying than anything. I can manually set one and then it changes the other. They are never in sync. Any fixes for this?

Has anyone with the 540 been able to get the memory card reader slots (or whatever its called) working?
or the Radeon 3450, but I also doubt that...

Yep, Snow Leopard 100% working using retail DVD, installed onto 2nd partition as a clean install using OSInstall.mpkg from Leopard. Grab a couple of Kexts from that Windows Skydrive site and such, drop in your DSDT.aml and boot.plist and it'll work great
 Even better than Leopard - no kernel panics all week!

10.6.1 installed from Software Update, no problems whatsoever. Still using 32-bit kernel because I need MacFUSE for my work. Hurry up Logitech, release updated mouse drivers for 10.6!

Can you PLEASE post DETAILED, step-by-step instructions on Snow Leopard installation?
I too have a Dell Studio 540 and would like to install Snow Leopard on it. While not a beginner, I would really appreciate it if you could post detailed instructions on how you got Snow working on your Studio 540. PLEASE HELP! I know you mentioned airdrive or something, but I have no idea what that is. Can you please attach all relevant kexts, etc. to your reply?
Thank you SO MUCH! -Ken
