Snow Leopard 10.6.4 update just came out for some security reasons and the Tonymac86 already has a guide to install retail Snow Leopard 10.6.3 including upgrade. So I tried it and it worked well with our MSI X58 Platinum i7 920 + EVGA 8400GS. This is the procedure following the guide on that website. Things that are needed to install. This is the easiest way without downloading any distro or...

So, when we want to dual boot windows & mac OS x, the way I preferred to do it is to load windows first, use windows partition to create 2 partitions, a bigger partition is for windows NTFS and only 100-200GB for Mac OSX because Mac OS can transfer files...

If the video card has QE/CI/CL turned on correctly, all these things will work.
Screenshot will take pictures and put on the Desktop, if NOT, nothing.
Screen Recording in Quicktime will work without error OSStatus -182 (in 10.6.3 only)
FrontRow will work without just a black screen.
VLC player will play movies without a black screen with audio only.
iMovie will execute without any problem.

Finally, I can use the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 that I bought from Amazon. The only problem that I couldn't get it to work with QE/CI/CL is the graphic card. Bought a $33.00 GeForce 8400 GS and everything works perfectly on VGA but NOT on DVI using ATY_init.kext. In order to get the DVI to display we need to install a patched NVInject.kext and ATY_init.kext. The combo kexts for this video...

DSDT CPU Fix

So, after we installed the OS X, we need the boot flag of CPUS=1 or CPUS=2 to actually boot into the OS without Kernel Panic. We need to patch the DSDT. There are so many ways and programs that people used on the internet that work. I followed this way and it worked for me.
DSDT_Patcher1.0.1e needed.
DSDT Patcher Gui needed.
Place both of the unzipped folders on the Desktop. Follow the instructions here.
When it's done, just exit.
cd Desktop/DSDT_Patcher1.0.1e
Open DSDT_Patcher1.0.1e folder and click the DSDT_Patcher icon, a terminal will open, just follow the picture, click any key, then select 0 for Darwin and hit enter.
nano Debug/dsdt.dsl
Delete all the Alias lines
Ctrl+o to save, enter to save the file, Ctrl+x to close nano.
Run the Patcher.
./DSDT\ Patcher Debug/dsdt.dsl
Run again until the file dsdt.dsl doesn't exist anymore.
./DSDT\ Patcher /Debug/dsdt.dsl
copy dsdt.aml to /DSDT.aml, "cp dsdt.aml /DSDT.aml"
We may have to use "sudo cp dsdt.aml /DSDT.aml" and enter password if needed.
Reboot and we don't ever have to type cpus=1 any more and all the cores will be enabled.
