actually there isnt really a geforce go driver that supports CI/QE yet. its still in developement. that being said, macvidia and titan drivers doesnt work for geforce go cards.

my vaio is c2d 2.0ghz, 2gb ddr2 ram, 120hdd, 7600 go.

im planning to sell my vaio in a couple of months and get a mbp or something.

right now, there is no hope for my vaio yet.

anyway which release of leopard do you have?

i have a A527, but theres already a newer release almost close to RTM.

oh.. my bad.. Cos' i tot lappy nvidia gc should work, except 8000series. That one sure hopeless.

Ya. A527. Kalyway version. I lazy go dl those ori dmg. And it require you to patch yourself. Waste time and hdd space. Hmm..  599 version still so-so. It fix two issues, PPC stuff and HP drivers. Btw A527 consider quite stable.

PS: Great lappy. Too bad mbp is out of my budget. So only can choose mb. Hmm, probably you could wait till next year, cos' probably will have next revision mb/mbp

i thought PPC was no longer supported in leopard?

actually i am waiting till next year, there will be a new mb, not sure about the mbp tho. maybe next month i'll try to install leopard and see how it goes. btw whats your pc specs?

the hackint0sh project is suppose to be experimental and not permanent usage.

here is my humble suggestion, if you can't afford a mac, get a mac mini.
i don't see a point to get a high performance mac unless you do massive graphic rendering. gaming on a mac is still a nono because os x haven't developed their own direct x compatibility(but there is a 3rd party that does).

it's best to experience mac os x at full compatibility and support. icon_rolleyes.gif
