I just fixed a random shutdown. When cpu in highload or around 55 celcius, the computer suddently off. I can’t turn it on unless unplug the power cable for a few seconds. It seems power suply issue. I replaced with other cheap and unused power supply 400W . I’m glad it work very well now.

I have two unused nvidia card, biostar 8600GT 512 and evga 7950GT 512. The 7950 has more power, but right now I want to use 8600, because I have no game installed in my pc at the moment.

I use nvenabler.pkg. Just run the file then reboot, it should work fine. You will get 1024 resolution first after installation, just go to system preferences to switch back to the native resolution you have. In my case, it is 1440×900.

Here is the file: NVEnabler.pkg

When running superduper, I encountered this error. According to direction from netkas forum, here is how to fix it.

Then reboot.
“CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host” error will be eliminated

Now superduper work very well.

I manage to get my wireless usb linksys WUSB54GC work very well with leopard osx. Hey .. this is hackintosh, if you have real mac, you won’t need this unless the wifi module is broken .

Ok, it is quite simple installation.

Get the file here. wusb54gc osx leopard driver

1) Install the kext file using kexthelper. Restart leopard. 

2) Copy the two app files in Application folder

3) Run USBWirelessUtility, you can plug the wifi usb. As soon as leopard detect it, USBWirelessUtility will search available access points.

You may need to run USBWirelessUtility each time you start leopard. You can also put it in the dock and make it Open at Login.
