I have found some problems - 'About this Mac' shows 3.7 GHz Intel Core Solo - I know about the Core Solo, but why 3.7 GHz? In System Profiler in 'Hardware' nothing is diplayed.

Say, was the original image from a Macbook? The Keyboard/Mouse prefs won't load, if you start the prefpane directly you get the one from a Macbook, including Trackpad and so on. I used the one from 10.5.5, now it's working. Carzy, I want to keep it as additional preferences pane, so I renamed it (filename and in the package) and installed it in /Library/PreferencesPanes. If I start it now I get a message 'You cannot open keyboard and mouse preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac'. Ha Ha ;-)

If you install from another system (not from DVD) the languages aren't installed properly. Finder etc. are only in English.

Finder 10.5.8 crashes/restarts if I want to open the Finder's Preferences, the same happens when closing a window. I also get sometimes kernel panics depending on the Finder. I had to resore to version 10.5.6.

By the way - the image still has integrated Quicktime 7.5.0. I created a reinstaller to Quicktime 7.4.5, only with this Quicktime is useable for me. But I'm not the only one who has problems with Quicktime 7.5 - also real Mac users have:

Please can anyone do the same test as me: Run Activity Monitor with CPU History shown in Dock and play a movie which has an original size of 320x240 in DivX format using the actual Perian codec. Scale as big as possible, on my resolution this is 1307x960 pixel (with Dock shown). Quicktime 7.4.5 needs only 10% for this on my Athlon 64 4000+ (2.4 GHz), Quicktime 7.5 or 7.5.5 need more than 90% and stutters terrible. But the frame rate is always shown 25, the same problem what the guys in the Apple forum had.

2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.
