got this thing working like a dream now!

OS: MacOSX Leopard 10.5.1 (Zephyroth)
CPU: AMD A64 X2 6000 3.0 AM2
MB: Gigabyte GA-M61P-S3
Mem: 2Gb GSKILL
graphics: on motherboard video: nvidia 6100/ nforce 430(stuck at crapy resolution, tried NVInject, did not work - as a result DVD playback, Frontrow and Coverflow in Itunes do not work)
sound: on motherboard: Realtek ALC883 codec chip (working with ALC883Audio.mpkg)
Dvd: Lite On
Hard Drive: IDE Maxtor 5T020H2 (20gb) (old but works)
NIC or LAN : PCI ADMtek AN983 (working with Tulip.kext - this is a very useful package as i love the internets)
Firewire : untested, off in BIOS
Control: Microsoft USB comfort mouse and USB natural ergonomic keyboard

I have to say this was a project to get to work as I was totally new to OS X, but i want to thank everyone for your help/ support and search-able forum posts.

And a special thanks to Zeph!
