Hello to both rjohnst2 & 530geek! I noticed InfiniteMac has very good information as well as good knowledgeable people here, so I decided to register & here goes my first post here on InfiniteMac...

Sorry to stray slightly off topic, but I too have an Inspiron 530, currently on 10.5.8 Leopard using iAtkos v7, I've been doing a lot of searching & reading up on in forums and definitely a lot of googling around trying to find info on anyone else who's gotten Snow Leopard to work with their 530 system. I'm mainly looking for:

1) Any working tutorial write-up that you've come across for the Inspiron 530 (or compatible system), which you've used and using now for Snow.

2) Any info on kexts/EFI strings that you've used or found imperative to running Snow.

3) And any info/details on the method you used that worked.

Any info you could think of or remember of importance would be greatly appreciated! Thanking you both in advance! Cheers!

BTW... here's my specs just in case:
Dell Inspiron 530, Q8200 2.33GHz, 4GB DDR2, GeForce 9600GT 512MB Vid, SATA harddrives, Ralink Wifi N USB card 9currently using), Internal Atheros PCI Wifi G card (used for airport). and 2 other USBs i could use both by Zydas, can give specifics if necessary.
