Actually, the fastest leopard machine would be the mac pro 3,1The fastest Leopard machine is likely G5 Quad. Running from SSD. Of course comparing 2.3 dual core against quad core MacPro is not a fair game. (I do not find 2.3 particularly fast.)
I have booted Leopard on a late 2010 MacBook Air with the 320M. I just had to remove the GeForce-related kexts to prevent a kernel panic.I’ve also read here that Leopard doesn’t generally check hardware and will attempt to boot and the only thing preventing it from doing so would be unsupported hardware such as the Nvidia 320m.
You can actually run Tiger on athe fastest tiger machine would be the mac pro 2,1
MacPro3,1
.Which makes the card pretty much useless on Leopard. The 4870 is as good as it gets with graphics acceleration.Yeah the 5000 would be MAXIMUM for Leopard. I tried a 5870 and under Leopard it boots with one display, zero acceleration, and zero 3D capability.
Hopefully you’re not saying that your partitions are no longer showing up.able to do a pram reset finally, but even with an external apple keyboard, this is all im getting now
no, after putting my rx570 and my nvme back in, it behaves properly again. could be just my cd's since they are not original leopard cd's, just burned onesHopefully you’re not saying that your partitions are no longer showing up.
If you’re interested in skipping the install process and just want to do a simple image restore, I could make a fresh Leopard boot image, compress it and upload it today. Do you have a hosting site you’d recommend?
As I said, the whole install deal just will not work. I feel it isn’t worth the time editing the installer, troubleshooting, starting over etc.
Ask the supplier if the OS X drivers are for PPC only or if they’re a universal binary.P.S. in another thread there was a question of a 10gig Ethernet card for a G5 and I was able to track down such a device from a particular supplier. Every reference to the card by the supplier is in relation to the G5. How possible is it to make such drivers work with an Intel 10.5 Leopard Mac?
I wonder who will "collect" G5's in the future? I have a few, also a few G4 MDD's, and i have thought about getting rid of those, as i dont use them much, if at all, but what about the Amiga/X68000's and a bunch of Silicon Graphics boxes that i own, they also hardly ever get used.. but cant see to let go of them. Probably i "will" let the G4 towers go somewhere along the line, but ill keep the G5's at this stage. I also have 2 fully maxed out 1,1's, that also get zero use. Maybe i should have a big clean out...
