iBookdude458 Where's the cache? Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 341	If you can go intel , then by all means go intel. like TCPMeta said only a handful of AMD products work. You will have an easier time getting it working on intel hardware. find a laptop with an intel CPU and intel chipset but I think maybe even a nvidia nforce may work because the new macbook pros use those. the main thing to keep in mind is that apple designed OS X to work with Intel CPUs and PPC cpus, so it will work best with those as opposed to AMD.

The what I call "aftermarket kernels" support nForce chipsets but you'll still run into problems like ethernet, wireless and sound. People that do use AMD products use desktops and drop in compatible parts to bypass the stuff that isn't compatible. For all you know you might end up having just the basic hardware like VESA video, storage, optical and keyboard.
