Are AMD w/ SL doomed?
AMD can't get lion....which means
no iCloud..... now NO Messages! I invested so much in my system that I don't want to change to Intel for now.... Do we really have to switch over to intel if we want lion or moutain lion? Moved to INTEL i5-2500K / GA-Z77-DS3H / HD5770 OS X 10.7.4 all working! Win 7 ultimate running on Parallel |

Maybe they hit a road block or have stopped, who knows. Like you, I've got a nice AMD system which does everything I want it to. But I think with Mountain Lion, if it runs nicely on Intel I might just go out and get another box. Is a shame as I'd happily do with ML in a VM. |

Can you run lion or M Lion on VM on AMD?

No, VM's use your processor, so if you have an AMD cpu, it will be the same like trying to run Lion without the VM.
So we are here, hopeless Looks like we will have to spend some bux to buy an expensive Intel platform... System

near as I can tell you just need a motherboard and Intel processor. All your other stuff should go right onto it.
Done right, that might run you 200 bucks. I am still hoping Anv will be able to come up with an AMD kernel for Lion, and hopefully Mt. Lion, also. |

As i can see, Billdozer supports all needed CPU instructions and I it is interesting can it run native kernel or slightly pathced kernel? got FX-8150 and can't wait the patched kernel

But I don't want to spend all that money just so that I can run Lion or Mountain Lion to get iCloud or messages. I have nearly perfect system running with 10.6.8 retail and 10.6.7 hazard as backup and virtually have no issue (almost no panic, sleep works, all USB port, facetime, photobooth, iLife, sound works, Parallels running without any issue under 64bit userland) and i figure iCloud and message doesn't justify spending $$$. I got iPhone and iPad on the side as well. I really hope nawcom or Andy creates a miracle for us. We just need AMD kernel right? I could totally spend time working on that if I knew as much as those geniuses. Moved to INTEL i5-2500K / GA-Z77-DS3H / HD5770 OS X 10.7.4 all working!
