Does this mean this card will work with Snow Leopard on the Thinkpad T61 I have that has it?
Full support or partial?

What is your hardware, did it work in leopard?

I believe I have one of the Sony Vaios, the VGN-AR840E. Currently updated SL install up to 10.6.8 starting with Retail 10.6.3 disc with Nawcom's ModCD 3.1. Only had to delete and reinstall Apple80211Monitor.bundle to get the wireless fixed. Now my video only shows 5-7 MB VRAM recognized, no QE/CE, and video over internet or graphic file for movies are quite choppy.

My BIOS was modded to provide for AHCI and VT enabling. Before could only install up to 10.6.3, with several headaches. Now, only headaches are lack of LAN Ethernet recognized (laptop has a Marvell Yukon 88E8055), the nVidia issues for video and About this Mac crashing screen then refreshing.

Btw, I have both a DSDT.aml generated by DSDT Auto Patch, compiled with 0 erros, and an smbios.plist file for a Macbook4,1 (not a MBpro).

Can you shed some light and guidance to get me over the hump with either the LAN or video problems?

Hopeful in sunny South Florida

I have a Quadro NVS 285 listed, what exactly do I need to do in order for this to work? I had to use Natit in order to get iATKOS S3 v2 installed and running. I then upgraded to 10.6.8 combo using Legacy Kernel 10.8 and Evil twins kexts..

Need to know a list of kexts I need and which ones I need to edit/and where... My goal is to get 1440x900 and dual monitors working.

I got network working on 10.5.6 and 10.5.8 combo update by editing a kext with hex editor, so not scared of doing so if needed...

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
