Yeah, I don't know too much about hackintosh. But What I did is used nawcom's mod CD and a Retail disk of Snow leopard to boot up using -force64 as my boot flag.

Send me a message if you need to know what to do next.

Actually i downloaded iatkos s3 v2 and didnt even have to use any flags and it had not 1 kernel panic or any problems installed without any issues only problems are my ethernet and wifi dont work and audio seemed to be messed up when it did the welcome slide show thing

Since I used Mod CD it took care of all that for me, but my guess is to download the IONetworkingfamily.kext http://www.osx86.net/view/230-ionetworkingfamily.html for ethernet, VooDooHDA http://www.osx86.net/view/2746-voodo...installer.html for the audio

I would seriously recommend the retail disc and Mod CD for any AMD, But as long as it works it does not matter.

well can you send me some pics of your current setup and how it looks and do you need to do anything special. and how am i supposed to get wifi to work

Sorry about the Wifi, I still don't have mine working, mostly because i'm too lazy to look up my wifi card. Tell me your's and maybe I can help. Plus I forgot to mention that you need to get kext helper b7 to install the kexts that you downloaded http://www.osx86.net/view/2075-kext_helper_b7.html

If you don't know how to install the kexts all you need to do is put them in /Extra/Extensions and then install them with kext helper

To get your AMD to function better I would HIGHLY recommend these fixes

Fix 1: Unlocking all 8GB of your RAM and being able to use 64bit apps
http://www.osx86.net/view/2426-amd_insn_patcher.html
with this tutorial http://www.osx86.net/desktops/14304-...s-working.html

Fix 2: Being able to use the app store:
the tutorial is in the package
iCloud Fix.zip Don't worry, it works for snow leopard too.

So tell me if everything is legit and behaving like it should

P.S. Also, tell me what you want screenshots of

atm i dont need the patch as i sent 1 of my 4gb ram sticks in to get it replaced

Got it, is everything else working legit? And what's your wifi card?
Plus I edited the comment above a few times, so you may want to re-read it.

ohh ok actually it is even my graphics card and its a 9800 gt and my wifi card is a Netgear WNA1300 (Wireless n 300)

Edit I installed same thing on my laptop and it work fine but when i start it up after the white apple logo it goes to a white screen and music starts playing

Hmm, can't seem to find anything on google about your wifi chip. I would start a new topic about it under networking and wireless (They know more about it than me) Networking & Wireless is your ethernet behaving like it should?

Also a good tip for AMD users: If an app keeps continually crashing, goto the app directory, get info, and then hit boot in 32-bit mode, this has worked miracles for me.
