Without any extensions in /Extra other than for the audio and FakeSMC, all my SATA devices are detected as "Unknown AHCI Standard Controller". This is on 10.6.8 running latest kernel 10.8.

Looks like my downloaded mac os x doesn't work. @n8210 ! you were right ! Anybody knows where can i get the original disc for a cheap price ?

yeah buy original better, at least all the installer packages is in

Lion is around the corner, might as well wait for it. I've no idea if it will be available on separate download or will it need a Mac to download it.

Hi, my search for mac os x snow leopard has failed as none of the dealers are having it.. All sold out dy..

My question is, can i use MAC OS X 10.3 ?

I know mac os x lion is around the corner and i might as well buy that.. but, i'm a bit tight on budget.. Planning to buy os x lion later.. but,i wanna try 10.3 and upgrade to 10.6. Can or not ?

10.3 = Panther .. no idea if it will support your hardware.

i think u can buy from ebay..cheap as well

Any idea on installing OSX on a 2nd Gen Intel equipped laptop?

Virtual PC & dualboot.

If you're going for VM way, wait for Lion, it should be available hopefully from today. SL license doesn't allow you to run it under VM unless if you've the server license.

Hi all, I was recommended by DarkNite to this topic,

anyway, this is the build I have in mind,

i5-2500k RM639
Gigabyte H67M-D2-B3 RM279
KVR 4GBx1 RM94
Samsung F3 500GB RM119
LiteOn DVDRW RM60
Sapphire 6670 RM309
FSP Hexa 500w RM159 / Gigabyte GT Odin 550W - RM169
CM 341 MATX RM110.

I'm almost certain that this build is compatible with MacOS,

nonetheless, more opinions would be preferred.

Should I stick with the H67 board, so should I go for the Z68?

What are the blatant benefits of Z68 boards?

@Cold|Drawn, everything else seems to be fine except the 6670 which is not supported in SL, no idea in Lion tho'.

oh, that's odd.

Because I was referring to tonymacx86's blog

http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/search/label/CustoMac

Btw, Wiraone should I go for z68 board?

@cold|drawn,

If you search for 6670, some has got it to work by flashing the ROM using the 5770 ROM. Some successfully use it after fiddling with the extension, I believe this is not the way going forward. Why not go for 5770 and avoid all the hassle.

On the motherboard, I couldn't give much opinion on it. Z68 is actually an H67 with overclocking ability. Since you're thinking of overclocking (by choosing i5/2500K), H67 is not meant for you really. For overclocking, go for either P67 or Z68 .. and I believe you got the answer already

I was running 10.6.6 and have no problem playing movie thru Quicktime X.... Updated to 10.6.8, still have no problem... installed FCPx, i can still run Quicktime and import vid .MOV to FCPX... however, after doing some update on general and pro-apps (software update), QuicktimeX wont play any file anymore... not even its own .MOV... It crash and ask to reopen... Importing .MOV file to FCPx also caused same crash... why in the hell it happened? FYI, the gpu is GT240 with fully enabled QE/CI.... Is it just me?
