Administrators Leon Posted October 8, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 8, 2011 Correct me if i'm wrong, but optiplex is a stationary computer.. so.. replace the graphic card and you should be good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdsgb Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hey Leon , I reinstalled mac os 10.6.3 and youtube works fine with no problems. Now i'm in the process of upgrading to 10.6.8, i'm confused on what chameloen i should use , earlier before i reinstalled mac os i installed chameleon from champlist and my screen resolution was 1280x1024, now its 1024x768. I've been visting kexts.com but i'm not sure whats the correct way to install kexts, i have kext utility , but it doesn't seem like they install (haven't installed any yet on the new install i did.) An can they be uninstalled . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted October 9, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 9, 2011 use kext wizard for kexts and chameleon wizard for chame... install the latest one and in smbios section of chame wiz set your graphics enabler=yes and your resolution... there are different settings to play with to optimize your osx install.
