In your bios do you have your CD drive enabled as a boot option. Also I am not 100% sure but check to see if our DVD drive is set to master. Is it on its own cable or does it share with a HD? PS I checked the myspace link out. I noticed the bottom Youtube video you had was from a caller from Citra, Fl Id love to know who that was cause I went to high school in Citra Florida and I can picture someone making that call.

Ok, it's clear that I need a dedicated graphics card but I really don't want to spent much on it (several reasons). The cheapest cards I found both have a Radeon chipset for which I can't find anything on the web wether they are supported in OSX86 in any way.
I'm looking at these cards: - MSI Radeon HD3450 256 MB PCI-E - MSI Radeon HD4350 256 MB HDMI PCI-E Does anybody have experience with these chipsets? Or a general idea wether it might work or not? Again, no fancy stuff required, just a proper resolution on my 22" screen... Code:
CPU : AMD Athlon64 X2 5600+ Dual-Core 2.9GHz MB : ASRock AliveNF6G-GLAN Mem : 4Gb (2x 2GB, PC-6400 DDR-II 800MHz) Chip: nForce 430 GFX : Integr. NVIDIAŽ GeForce 6150SE, 256MB shared LAN : Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000 Mb/s, Giga PHY Realtek RTL8211B Snd : ALC662 Audio Codec HD : SATA 7200RPM 250GB DVD : SATA 22x DVD rewriter Running iPC Public release. Shared mem. GFX will probably never work. Replacement is underway. |

Im not sure about the price on those models but here are two options. The second has dual DVI as you may want to add a second monitor. Two 22" monitors are better than one ASUS EN8400GS 256MB $22.99 after $10 rebate EVGA GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB $39.99 after $30 rebate Im sure you could even find less expensive cards without rebates. You want to make sure when you look at cards, especially budget models, that when it lists memory it means on-board. Sometimes they advertise a card with 256 or 512 and then when you read the fine print it will say something like 128MB on-board and 128MB shared. I know people have problems with graphics that use shared memory though I have no idea how a card like that will behave. P.S. Did you recently pick up your 22" monitor? if you which model is it if you don't mind me asking.

ATI cards are fine. This link is a bit dated but will give you an idea: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...Graphics_Cards I do commercial photography and when I get home I really have no interest in picking up a camera so I purchased two 22" budget Acer models for around $130 each. I knew going in that they were not going to be close to what I normally work with but I have been extremely happy with them.

I think I'm going to get this one (coincidentally one you mentioned):
ASUS EN8400GS SILENT/HTP/256M GeForce 8400 GS Unfortunately I have to pay 35,= EURO's for it (without shipping) which seems a bit more expensive than in the US. I'll do some more shopping tonight. Code:

OK so I boght a new HDD (ide 40 gb) a new DD drive. Im runnin the XX OSx MAc 10.5.5 beta PPF1-3 image on a dvd. I get to install the dvd and everything. I get past darwin w/o any of the boot flags and symbols. Before Installation I click customize in order to pick my kexts.
Wat else should i choose ? Bootloaders ? Kernels? Tools? (theres a bunch of stuff to choose from) So far w/e combo I have picked ( includin not pickin anthin) has bought me to a Kernel panic screen after the installation reboot P.S> I've yet to install a image that i injected my SB700 kexts into.
