Here's my attempt to build a MacDell.
Info is provided for amusement only. Don't do this because it may be illegal. The NSA put a chip in my brain.
1) Find kalyway_leo_10.5.1.iso
2) Burn it to a disk an boot from it
3) Under the toolbar use disk utilities to format the drive/partition you want to install on. I've always read avoid using the journaling and just stick with 'Mac Os Extended' partitions.
4) Continue on with the install until you see 'Customize' in the bottom left corner. Expand the last option and select MBR (if you're wishing to boot to your Mac partition).
5) Install and pray
Random Notes
1) Security Update 2007-009, Remote Desktop Client, iTunes, and Quicktime updates installed fine
2) Need to install video drivers
*for the x600 the device id is 5b62
*you can skip the hexedit part
*rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache didn't work, but didn't affect anything
*I can't get CI or QE to work - BIG PROBLEM
3) Need to fix mouse tearing
4) Integrated audio works, but not on the front speaker?
5) Integrated ethernet works fine
6) Does NOT wake from sleep (disabled in system preferences)

Hello,
Did you get to install the drivers for the x600 and have been successful in enabling QE/CI?
Thanks
There are no legit mac machines with the x600 that can handle leopard, therefor there arn't any legit mac drivers for it and everything homebrew and from tiger is shoddy at best.
your best bet is just looking on a hardware compatability list for $40-60 pciexpress nvidia card that's verified with QE/CI and save yourself alot of headaches.
Thanks for the quick response. I have started to look around for new hardware. I'm looking to buy the Badaxe2 or Asus PW5 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB or the GeForce 7300GT 256MB. Let me know your thoughts.
Both of those cards sound good - I don't have any experience with either so I can't really give you a good opinion. Good luck.
