As for it being worth it, I would say so, but that's solely my opinion.

Anyway, i was able to do a software update to 10.5.8, honeslty i have no idea how i did it. it kind of just worked. I was able to load the Broadcom Wireless thru the "customize install" with the install disk and then with your script after the update to 10.5.8. note Safari would not open.. it would bounce once then do nothing. I was able to make a FireFox.DMG and burn it to a disk from my other computer and that solved that problem. I'm now wondering how to get Snow Leopard running, is it just another install disk or will i have to do all this hard work over again? Or is it even worth it?

I'm going to see how long it will last now. Also is it possible for the mac login screen to come on when i turn my computer on? My computer starts up then does its thing with going black for a split second then turns the screen on again then just loads up my desktop without having to login and enter my password and stuff.

The only problem that I'm having is that it wont wake back up from going to sleep. I would have to do a hard shut down every time. Also i was wondering if there was a fix for the HDMI Port?
