BlueAvenue Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 A motherboard that will work can be bought at Newegg in the $60 to $80 range. Personally i would dump that video card also, very iffy card.

dado2i Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I think that I should have a very similar configuration (same chipset) on my Acer 5101. It should work also for you.trying to help..what is the error you're receveing? and when, at installation, booting after installation, it's a Kernel panic??Are you using Zephyroth 10.5.1 or 10.5.2? I can install well the 10.5.1 but can't install at all the 10.5.2 release.. give a look on how I installed mine here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry635945just realized that I missed somethinghmm i thought it was a laptop. but however try the same things..
