Apple released the 10.6.7 update. The first attempt to install it failed, but the second worked for me. When I started it up the first time after the update, it ran kinda slow and software update launched twice for some reason. I rebooted it again and it froze at the login window.

I don’t have this board anymore. I’ll do my best to help you with any problems you have, but the last time I installed OS X using this board was September 2009.
