Hi there, i can help u on this, for the mobo get the gigabyte EP-45-UD3L/R/P, as for the graphic card go for the 9800gtx+ if u got cash or any second hand 8800gt or 8600gt. Processor go for c2d or c2q.

And i think u can't install leopard using the DVD from your macbook pro, u have to get retail leopard disc or one of the modded distros.

cheers!

From these 4 mobo, gigabyte EP-45-UD3L/R/P which is the best for a beginner, using retail leopard disc?
OR
If using retail leopard disc + Chameleon 2.0 RC1, which mobo is easier and have all features and hardware usable - support for SATA RAID, Realtek ALC889A, LAN?

I have Mac OS7, 8 and 9 software, are these still usable, able to run on leopard? blush.gif

Check the garage sales

There are few folks who are selling Broadcom 802.11n pci-e cards and Atheros 802.11n cards

These cards would work fine under OSX (as Airport)

Apple Releases iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.4
Apple has released an update for iMacs with the Radeon HD 4850 Graphics processor, which addresses intermittent freezing on the systems that people have been experiencing. This update also fixes problems with wake-from-sleep when using Bootcamp on these machines.
Does this means we can use a cheaper and better graphic card - HD 4850, instead of 9800GTX+, 8800gt or 8600gt?

Yes, shld work i guess, the new mac pro`s will support ati 4870 , most probably the drivers will be out in the 10.5.7 update. As for the mobo get the UD3R it should work just fine.

Refer to cktan27 previous posts for the UD3R installation guide.

cheers!

Hey thanks for the quick respond. About i7 system I already think & think many times already. Since all this hacking is new to me, I decided to stick to the basic first and can get all the stuff working. Also i7 hardware is not cheap, plus need to buy Apple Keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse. Don't think want to spend so much just on the hardware, have to consider new CS4, Final Cut Studio 2 and other software stuff for Mac OS.
Err .. just realised wireless Mighty Mouse is Bluetooth, so need what hardware to used this? icon_question.gif

This is a great news, if only apple were releasing update with new driver which support the newer GPUs such ATi 4000 series & NVidia 200 series, it would be more fun. i7 for OS X much overkill where normal dual or quad cores is enough to handle them. Been running mine for almost 6 month already, no prob etc as long all the hardware got driver. Damn, I really love this OS X much compare to my another machine which running vista x86 or x64.
Best part, I can surf every where w/out need worry with virus.. Wohoo..

Try cpus=1

to fix your sound issue. You may need to get SMBIOS fix for 2 Cpus thingy

Like I've said hacks on laptops aren't prefect

Now , my fujitsu u1010 has issues. I plug it in and it gets stucked in installation forever

Good news is that the touch screen works

Now I've to crack head to determine which kext is the culprit and a way to fix it. Let you know the outcome later

Voila - I've HacBook Air Tablet PC Edition !

Yo prasys. I know I can't use cpus=1 when I install it will throw me kernel panic. You mean if I boot I use cpus=1?

I think I did install teh SMBIOS fix. =| Not sure. I wonder is there a way for me to check it.

Oh btw prasys did you try -x? I know mine works after using -x cpus=2 for installing.

Nice Tablet Hackbook haha!

Since you're using a dell, why don't you buy the Wireless N card (for those who are trying hard for wifi)

This broadcom card works with COMPAQ laptops

RM 100 (yeah bit pricey) but its the same wifi card which can be found in MacBook Pros , its native - meaning it works out of the box without any hacking , etc

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=884377&hl=

I just ordered mine. Stupid Atheros card doesn't want to work with my U1010 !

Suk , that one works with your laptop. Check with the seller. Its the only card that we can find in Malaysia for laptops which works as Airport

Oh by the way , its very hard to find Dell 1390/1490 , if anyone knows where to get them let me know


Anyway things that work with Tablet Hack (will post pictures later)

1. Graphics card (obviously , duh its GMA 950 - it has to work)
2. Bluetooth (works out of the box)
3. Basic keyboard + mouse (had to install PS2 kext) , + USB + Sleep (sleep works but after that it goes too slow)
4. Touch-screen (My tablet has two modes in bios , one is touch screen and the one is in tablet. In touch screen mode , with Windows Vista/XP Tablet - I can write and use it as a tablet pc , but its not supported in Linux. However in OSX , it works out of the box and it shows me Ink. I can write on the screen)
5. Ethernet (Works out of the box)




Things that I thought would work but didn't work
1. Sound - AppleHDA keeps on giving me kernel panics. Figuring it out why
2. WiFi - expected this guy to work. Its Atheros MiniPCIe , but it doesn't work . Ordered Broadcom 802.11n card in order to fix this

Today I bought the DW 1390 for RM60.
Guess what, I tried to install in my compaq. and i got an error 104. saying this card can not work with my laptop.
( The BIOS Whitelist, forbidden the DW1390/Broadcom4311 to boot my OS )

Looking for solution and until now can not find.
Compaq BIOS version F.2E (latest)

Rm100? Walao. Gotta save up again sad. dry.gif

For your sound problem, are you using hacked AppleHDA or Vanilla? I know some hacked ones throw kernel panic.

Oh for my case, it's currently running like this:

Laptop specs:
Core 2 Duo 2.0 T7250
Broadcom LAN
Bluetooth 2.0
8600GT M

Installed Kexts: (so far)
NVInject (QE CI Working)
Broadcom Kext (From Dell Laptop Post Installer 1.4)
Touchpad (VoodooPS2Controller + Scroll working!!)
Internal keyboard (Ideneb 1.4 the PS2fix for keyboard)
Sigmatel 9205 (Custom AppleHDA and HDAEnabler, and custom driver dump found in forums patched using AppleHDAPatcher1.2) Everything including mic works.
IPW3945abg (The beta driver is not working so useless now)
TimeSync Fix by Zephy
Voodoo Kernel 9.5
Chameleon Bootloader (gonna install 2.0 RC later)

Works almost flawlessly besides shutdown/restart/sleep problem. SAD.
