Pentium M 1.6 nia you wanna dual boot to Vista for f&^% what? So you can use MS Office? Get with the program and use Parallels lah. Be Visss-- free and get your menthol fresh back.

Installed 10.4.8 on vmware to test...
got 1 question here...
is it vmware will use 100% cpu resource when guest os loaded?

it depend on your processor. If core2duo, it won't. If SSE2 processor, i think it will 

use amd actually...then i might try on intel processor then...thanks for ur info...

What model of v3000 are you trying to get working? I might be able to help.

Look in the OSX86 wiki

My suggestion :

Intel Pentium/Celeron or something that has SSE3

Intel 945 series board (that carries GMA 950 , and Intel sound) (see a couple of suggestions in OSX86 Wiki)

and then you are set.

I would suggest you to invest on a decent graphics card like 7300GT !

i've tried re-installing 10.5.1 but it all fail at the blinking cursor...everything was perfect...but after re-installing and restarting, the "blinking cursor of death" appeared....

i've already read up on forums and tried using the method specified such as writing zero thingy in disk utility but it is still the same

the reason why i re-installed it is because i wanna make it dual boot with Vista and i've set MBR as the partition table of choice

before this, i was able to install it with the vanilla kernal but now it all semms impossible, i gotta use the cd to boot to the operating system....any help guys?

i think i stick to my V3000 first,...the last resort is the new PC

anyway, amd also the same. If your amd is SSE2, then you probably will have trouble. SSE3 should not be a problem

Your V3000 isn't going to work due to the Nvidia chipset used. If it'd only work I'd be all over the AU version of Presario instead of going with TU. I'm also a fan of AMD but it always come with incompatible chipset.

sigh....
i think i go n get a new PC then,..

can i run the mac OS smoothly on this specs?

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5500 (1.66GHz, 2MB, 667MHz)
* 14.1" WXGA BrightView Technology
* Intel GMA950 128MB
* 1GB DDR2 Ram
* 120GB Hard Disk Drive
* DVD-RW Drive
* Built-In 5 in 1 Card Reader
* Built-In Wireless
* Built-In Bluetooth
* Windows Vista Home Basic Edition

I want to keep my Windows though and just install Mac... possible?

or why don't you get a mac?   

i have a macbook, the GMA950 one, and a G4 mac mini....

but you know, to a certain degree, i just wonder, why did i spend a lot of money to get great machines (MAC) if i can have them with lower price...dont you think so?..

yea.. if you have the money, you can just clone yourself a "Mac Pro". Quite surprise that mac user want to build a hackintosh. Cos normally mac user dislike that idea, probably it is stereotype 1.  

If you have the money, just buy a similar spec like the basic Mac Pro, minus the server processor la Get Core2duo and 7300GT. My ex boss build one himself. Running wildly in Leopard via EFI emulation. It only cost him roughly Rm2k for the CPU.
