[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1512576, member: 8287"] Not a problem. At the beginning it was hard to do but the programmer who I believe had something to do with the old installer that made OSX run on old Power Mac 7600 Converted to a G3 machines. He made an installer and you just run it and it finds the ML installer, puts in the Kexts that make it all work and bam, it's installed! No more finding drivers and trying to replace them. Most of the issue with my White late 2007 Macbook was the X3100 will not with the current driver support the new OPEN GL interface ML is using. Simple as a new driver that no one would write. There are a few other fixes but the installer does it all. I tried it way back when it was all do it yourself and without the right driver it was so bad I zapped it. Well with his his hard work it does work QUITE well and ML seems faster on that very machine than Lion did. There are some smart people out there for sure!! My first Mac and usage of OSX was 10.2 Jaguar on a Non Supported PowerMac 7600 133 with a Sonnet G3 400. That is what made me want a newer Mac. OSX so impressed me even on that machine I was hooked!!! [/QUOTE]
