That sucks

That sucks - on various hackintosh forums you may be able to pick up techniques that allow you to manually patch the drivers (.kext) so that they perhaps will work. But all in all it may be better to just wait for the drivers to be updated....

For me all software I tried out was working properly apart from Crossover Office/Games as this is failing. I did have a copy of Parallels and installed Windows 7 in it. With 3D hardware acceleration and hardware virtualization supported on the machine it actually performs better than I anticipated. I am even able to run games at decent frame-rates.

There's always a risk in upgrading to a new OS, but Snow Leopard looks very much the same but the GUI is a lot faster - just like when you compare Windows 7 to Windows Vista.

My wife is running Windows Vista Home on her laptop (2.0Ghz Core2Duo, 2Gb ram) and I am running Windows7 on my MacBook (2.4Ghz) on Parallels with 3D enabled and 2Gb of Ram allotted to the virtual machine. And when running full screen you really wouldn't be able to tell Windows 7 is running in a Virtualized form.
