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!
