Mac OS-X Leopard on an AMD

[millencolin]

Hey just got Apple Mac OS going on my AMD works like on a mac machine so far any one else done this or are we not allowed to talk here about it.

i am running 10.5.2 on my 3200+ with 1gb ram.

anyone.....

i would be interested in knowing the steps you went through.....I tried months ago to get Leopard running in a VMware Virtual Machine but no go, even when following the steps given.

yeah no owrries i downloaded kalyways 10.5.2 and has worked on 2 totaly different machines fine even updates (but no system updates like update to 10.5.6 that is aseperate install)

but this is nothing like what you tried before as i tried that and got no where

this one is simple

download it from the pirates of the bay or the green deamon
kalyway 10.5.2 intel/amd
there are others but tried alot and most had their little issues this one worked for me but others may work better for you,

u burn it to a dvd (slowly) and load the cd and reboot your pc

it auto boots and self explanitary

note once booted into setup you have to go to utilities and format and partition a drive and install to that,best is to play with another harddrive like i did you need about i think 15gb, but its great i would say its as close as 95% off a mac the other 5% is where you have to play around and try and download drivers and so on not like the virtual machine one where you only got 10% out of it etc.....


any way just pm if you have any questions.
cheers

I installed zephyroth onto a mates phenom K9A2CF setup a few months back and it ran fine. I remember boot times were extremely lengthy though.

However i have my own setup now, it is all 100% retail leopard. Runs faster and just as smooth as both of my macbooks (the 13" and the pro). I can even use the actual software update button to update love it.

It is:

10.5.6 and no hacks
Board: GA-P35-DS3L
CPU: E7300
RAM: 4gb 800 hyperX
Video: leadtek/winfast px7600GT
Pioneer something DVD - from msy. think it is a 212D, is that a model?
PCI wireless card: Asus WL-138G V2 works 100% and is detected as an airport card with no hacks at all

I run vmware, toast, speed download, office, visualhub etc and have never had any glitches.
Also have my x64 vista drive connected and using paragon ntfs and hasn't caused a hiccup, the P35 board has a simple nice little boot selector in it you can choose on startup what HDD to boot from.

I would recommend anyone wanting to build one either get a GA-P35-DS3L (rev 1 or 2 is fine) or a GA-EP35-DS3L again either revision is fine. Both those boards are capable of running retail leopard fine, downside is IDE is buggy so don't go there only use SATA.
