OK so currently I have a dual boot machine (iDeneb 10.5.6, and Windows 7). Well I am going to try to make a triple boot (iDeneb 10.5.6, Windows 7, and SnowOSX Universal). The trick here is that I am using the older 3.5 version. Which is INTEL ONLY...well... thats what they said about Snow leopard, and yet people are running it on their AMD machines.
So I am going to have to mess around with a few things to try to get this working. I will post my success or failure on here once I am finished. It is installing right now so I should be done pretty soon.
If this does NOT work then I am going to try the new 3.6 version which is supposed to support AMD CPUs.
And if this DOES work but is glitchy, etc. then I am going to install the newer version and try it out!
WISH ME LUCK!

iDeneb 10.5.6 on AMD PC
Well I just finished installing iDeneb 10.5.6 on my AMD PC, and it runs like a charm!
Most people say that Hackintosh's are worthless and glitchy and they just don't work, well, I am here to tell you that what those people say are true, to some extent. If you choose the wrong kexts (Basically a Mac version of a Windows driver) then it will NOT work correctly. But if you choose the right kexts then you will be just fine!
I have everything working, Quartz Extreme, Dual Monitors, Photo Booth, iMovie '09, iLife '09, Final Cut Express, Spaces, Expose, etc.
My install took about 40 minutes, but it was well worth the wait!
Here is a list of my Specs and the kexts i used for my hardware:
Hard Drive - Formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - No kext required.
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ - MUST USE VOODOO KERNEL! OR IT WON'T WORK (Only applies to AMD CPUs)
Motherboard - MSI k9vgm-v - Used VIA Chipset kext
Video Card - PNY 8600GT - NvDarwin 512mb video kext
As I said before, everything works perfectly, the only downside is that since I don't have an Intel CPU, I can't update to 10.5.7, or 10.5.8, v.i.a Software updater. I have to do it a different way.
I love Mac OSX and I recommend it to everybody!
Thanks for reading! Tutorials for Mac coming soon!
