1st [GUIDE] Snow Leopard Retail on Vaikoo VA880G + Geforce GTX460

1st GUIDE Mac OS X on Vaikoo board 

Hi all, just wanna share this simple installation method, it’s been 2days since I run it and didn't find any freezing problem until now. 

System :

- X2 555BE unlock to X4 B55
- Vaikoo VA-880G
- MSI GTX460 Hawk

Tools :

- New bios for Vaikoo VA-880G
- Download Nawcom ModCD
- Snow Leopard Retail DVD
- Download Multibeast (use v3.7.0)
- Download Mac OS X 10.6.7 Combo Update
- Download AboutThisMac Fix

Installation :

- Boot with Nawcom ModCD
- Eject Nawcom ModCD and insert Snow Leopard Retail DVD then press F5
- Choose OSX86 Installer
- And go to install

Notes :
* On the installation screen open Utility -> Disk Utility
* Make partition for your hard drive to GUID (but Nawcom ModCD would allow you using MBR Partition to install Retail)
* Format your partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
* Close Disk Utility

Wait for atleast 25minutes until the installation complete, then RESTART!!!
