| iPC X-DL 10.5.6 Release “today I downloaded iPC X-DL 10.5.6 and burned it to a DL DVD+R. When I tried booting it all went well till i got to the part where you enter bootlive;exit.

| MSI P43 Neo & Snow Leopard it's love... “I am looking into this, I broke my 10.6 install with the 10.6.2 update. I think that I saw a tool here on infinitemac that would restore it to a flash drive or HDD. I was also looking into using BootThink, install it on the Flash drive and …” | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 2009-12-05 52,583 dossier reads |
| MSI P43 Neo & Snow Leopard it's love... “The P45 Neo3-F mobo also works using the same kexts as this one. Only difference is you need to add USBBusFix=Yes to your boot flags for the USB to work properly.

| Proplem with Empire EFI “There's never a guarantee when you're making a hackintosh. Its something that can't be done considering we're using hacks to force install OSX on non-Apple hardware. Quite literally we're forcing a square peg through a round hole with a ham…” | 10.X Core | 2009-12-20 27,484 dossier reads |
| nVidia GTS250 512MB DDR3 resolution issue “Honestly I can't find anything regarding the VIA codec your sound uses and OSX so you may end up having to go out and buy a sound card that is compatible.

| nVidia GTS250 512MB DDR3 resolution issue “iATKos v7 is Leopard 10.5, the nVidia GTS & GTX 2xx series isn't officially supported till Snow Leopard 10.6.2 so you'll either have to upgrade to Snow Leopard (recommended) or back port the nVidia drivers from 10.6.2.” | 10.X Core | 2009-12-23 11,219 dossier reads |
| iAtkos v7 on MSI Wind U100... help please... “I've had success with Iatkos v7 on my Samsung N120, similar hardware netbook. Try this : Samsung N120 - OSX 10.5.7 (Iatkos v7) - fully working 10.5.8 with bcm94321 wifi I'm no great tech, and if that's your case, I think Iatkos is the way t…” | 10.X Core | 2009-11-28 10,747 dossier reads |
| iAtkos v7 on MSI Wind U100... help please... “The only success I've had with distros is with the WindOSX and SnowyWindOSX distros, but I recommend doing a retail install. If you search netbook snow leopard kexts you should find what you need.” | 10.X Core | 2009-11-28 10,747 dossier reads |
| Buildng Quad Core AMD, Suggestions “I bought AMD for a reason. I like AMD better. Regardless of what you like, you'll have an easier time running OSX on an Intel/Nvidia platform. You don't have to worry about installing custom kernels and CPUID patching at every system update…” | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 2009-12-23 6,591 dossier reads |
| AMD vs Intel “Yeah stick with an Intel setup. Less headaches because you don't need a custom kernel, patch CPUIDs each update, etc etc. If you're worried about money build it yourself.” | 10.X Core | 2009-12-08 6,164 dossier reads |

| Boot Iso “Try using this version of Empire-EFI: mega upload.com/?d=80GT2A0V The problem is your Boot-132 CD probably doesn't have the 10.6.2 nVidia drivers which adds support for the GT2xx cards. Also if you already have Snow installed just update to…” | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 2009-12-23 5,320 dossier reads |
