I thought one fella in this thread says that you don't need to burn it.. Just mount it would do..

you will need VMWare for that..

Nah.. I'm gonna dual boot anyways.. no biggies... Gonna revert back to WinXP only when all else fails..

> < Of course i know there's no driver for processors.. LOL... Anyway thx for ur help
*
the prob isnt tat cant boot up to mac os x or u can revert back to win xp or not..

it is just that, if u will be able to use mac os x, but some part is still not working, and u barely can fixed it to perfect anymore, u fall in love wit mac os x and u just feeling to throw ur current pc away (because of non-functional/incompatibility hardware) and get a mac, but u dont hv the cash for a mac at the moment.. if it is a desktop, that is easy, just change the hardware to a compatible or proven to work.. if not then that is a prob now..

Check this out: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...allation_Guides

10.5 (Leopard) is available although buggy. laugh.gif

Btw, how do I update my 10.4.7 to 10.4.8? I heard that there is something called "ppf" patch to update.
*
or if u hv the JAS 10.4.8 DVD, then run the installation again wit the new patches, it will just update the OS without clean installation/removing all the previous stuff as long as u dont format the previous partition, just click the installed partition to continue with.

gosh! i changed my GC to 9550 but i still cant get 1280*1024.. if select system preferences, it will go out of range, if edit the boot.plist, the screen will go all crazy and unreadable when boot into OS. what more can i do? does that means something wrong with the GC driver etc, or compatibility of my system issue? anyone any idea?

Hmm.. what's your previous gc ? I use 9550 before. It depends on brands i think. For my case, i use the 9700.kext. Put your gc id and dev inside it. And reboot. It should work. I can't use AGPGART for my case, i think is my mobo issue. My mobo BIOS don't have the option to set Aperture size. Weird right? If 9700.kext don't work for you, then you might want try Callisto build driver (it won't work for me)
*
thanks for the reply.

callisto + agpart by katana pack works for me.. it detects the right GC but no QE/CI enabled and cant change the resolution too. at least graphic acceleration and opengl is enabled. can run skype thumbup.gif

9700.kext, it enables my QE/CI but then graphic card is not detected as 9550.. weird!

the real problem is i cant seems to make it suit 1280*1024.. i dont mind not having qe/ci for such low end GC, but at least i want to hv right resolution on screen, else hard for my eyes.

oh ya my GC is MSI RX9550 256mb. else i gonna change GC to Nvidia for easier patching and better functioning in hackintosh.

one more thing, what is the aperture size in BIOS?

without qe/ci, wat else u cant do? all i can think of now is cant watch dvd.

@minority

ya agree with u.. gonna fed up wit radeon and change to nvidia

If you want set to 1280x1024, you can try type "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" in the boot screen. If everything works fine, it should give you that resolution. Then, you can modify the com.apple.boot.plist. Since you use callisto, it should have the option to set the resolution. Or you might want delete AGPGart. AGPGart is very unstable atm. It still alot of bug. If you use AGPGart, you should set the aperture size in 128MB. I think that's sum up everything. Ooops, forgot one thing. Without qe/ci, lotz of stuff you cant do or have buggy app. Eg, dashboard got some animation and w/o qe, i really find it really lagging or sometimes hang.  sweat.gif Well, it depends how you use it. Personally, i prefer with qe/ci. I use 9700.kext and add "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" in com.apple.boot.plist. It works fine for me, except that it detect my gc as 9600gs, i can play games like wc3  brows.gif

ok thanks.. i will try again with 9700.kext later then. i tried tht before, it worked once before something else wrong and i reformat + the mouse tearing is horrible.. else gonna change another GC or just wait patiently for the 24" iMac drool.gif

callisto gives resolution choices in preferences, but everytime i choose 1280*1024, my screen goes out of range and nothing else can be done.

Can i using boot camp after install this Mac OS X?
I wanna using Mac OS & XP simultaneously.

I still need to use some programs over XP...
Main reason to try this due to hate tos spywares attacks my PC too often. Lazy to format & install everything in my workstation.

I plan to using Mac OS to surfing. Then, will switch back to XP to use some softwares which dun haf Mac-supported.

My PC spec:
AMD Anthlon 64, 3000+
RAM :1.5GB
video card: ATI Radeon X550-256mb

you can do dual-boot. install mac os x and XP in different partitions. hence you can boot into any XP normally as in PC. or choose OS X to boot into OS X.
