new hardware looking to install 10.6
 

hey i got some new hardware and looking to install snow leopard. this is what i'm running:

Mobo: ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO
CHIPSET: ATI 785G
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0GHZ
RAM: Patriot Viper DDR3 1066 4GB
GPU: Diamond HD4870 1GB

what distro should i install and can i get full working QE/CI

Anyone have any updates on this hardware

I suggest doing a retail install using the EMPIRE EFI CD which has AMD support now, or using SnowOSX Universal for AMD 3.6.

Read this about EmpireEFI-------------->http://prasys.co.cc/2010/01/empire-e...out/#more-2411

I have the same motherboard, I haven't finished enough to power up yet but this SHOULD work. I would do more research on the video card and such, the chipset may need an extra .kext injected into the prepatched DVD I mentioned earlier.

I would recommend an ATI Graphics card.
