i7 860 10.6.2 Clock and A/V 1.5x too fast
I recently upgraded to a P55 i7 860 rig. Installing iDeneb 10.5.8 lite was a breeze with everything (except sleep, damn you Sapphire 4870HD) working 100%. To my surprise installing 10.6 was almost as easy; installed PCEFI 10.5, fixed…

WoW problem in 10.6.2
For some reason WoW hangs in SL for me; works great in 10.5.8 but in 10.6.X (CPU OC or not) the game will hang up needing a force restart. This happens within the first minute. Sometimes at login, sometimes after the game, sometimes at…

Snow Leopard 10A432 Install
“Ok, feel like a dumb-ass, but I fixed my own problem. Install went smoothly but having problems getting SL to boot; it keeps hanging on "DSMOS found" in verbose mode and does nothing. Any suggestions how to get past this? I have tried the c…”

Snow Leopard 10A432 Install
“I am somewhat confused as to how to install Snow Leopard. I have done all the prep-work from the guide. Problem is, after about 30% done it restarts (stating the install will continue after Restart). That's where I am stuck. I have my SL dr…”

10.6.2 Released
“FYI to all P55 i7 860 (and probably i5 as well) users the new Vanilla Kernel works native now! Boots into 64-bit mode and everything seems to be working flawlessly (have yet to try sleep). Also, anyone out there get sound working for ACL888…”

i7 860 10.6.2 Clock and A/V 1.5x too fast
“Problem solved. I found the modified boot file on another site TonymacOSX86 (your post no less) and snagged it there. Thanx all. FYI for everyone else who has this problem, I uploaded and tagged the file to Kexts.com for convenience for any…”

My pc keep restarting when installing
“I am assuming you are talking about installing OSX 10.6 SL from a 10.5.x install yes? I too had this (non) problem. After the computer reboots, let it load into 10.5.8 as normal. You will notice on the HD you wanted to install SL on there i…”

WoW problem in 10.6.2
“FYI for anyone else who has an ATI 4870HD you will need a modified EVOenabler.kext so SL properly reports that card as 4870, not 4890. I discovered that there was a larger problem than WoW at hand. OpenCL tests crashed all the time, which g…”
