JaS.Mac.OS.X.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.S SE3.PPF.1.Defiant.diskutil.biker880.ich7-R.patch.Integratedinstalls fine. BUT.. you need to install the following:Speedstep patch by KIKO, (w/ CPU Throttler - otherwise your CPU will run full all the time)Conexant HD Audio pkg patch (for complete audio)and do a small edit to some files to activate the default Broadcom 4311 wireless card (will not work for those who ordered the intel a/g/n upgrade!!) search insanelymac forum for: [How-To] Get Broadcom Wireless and Do the Switch Trick on 10.4.8Everything works now: USB, display w/ Quartz and Core, sound, wireless, etc..The caveats: No wake after sleep, and no battery monitoring.I installed Insomnia.kext to prevent sleeping when I close the lid.I haven’t tried the new PowerManagement bundle which is supposed to let you get battery and power usage control.I also installed Bresnik’s widget for CPU temp monitoring (the only one that works).another thing I installed is SteerMouse, but that’s only because MacOSX has wierd mouse settingshope that helps.. let me know if you need more advice.warning though, you gotta be tech savy to carry this out. Not to mention the partitioning part. Also, don’t bother using Vista’s boot loader.. just use Darwin’s boot loader.I would get a hold of Hiren’s Boot CD w/ partition magic and other tools to make your life easier.
