Today, I tried to install Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on an external USB drive and it works perfectly. To me, on every system we want to install Mac OS X on, it should be able to install on external USB drive first before we install it to the internal hard drive because most of us should have windows xp or windows 7 installed on it already. We mostly want to dual boot with windows 7 and Mac OS X so we can have the best of both world or even with UBUNTU then we will have the best of all world. Make sure we have supported graphics cards, I&#8217;m cheap so I only get the $19. Nvida 8400GS or GeForce 9500GT whenever they&#8217;re on sale. Both of these cars can have all the QE\/CI\/CL for Mac OSX and without QE\/CI\/CL, MAC OS X is a handicaped operating system. If you can&#8217;t afford $29 for SL10.6.3 retail DVD and $19. for these Nvida graphics cards, don&#8217;t bother to install MAC on your system. If you are a heavy gamer, make sure the expensive graphic card you used is supported by Snow Leopard to have full QE\/CI\/CL.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Disregard all the must have, must disconnect on all the website tutorials. With my system i7 860 2.93Ghz, OC to 3.3Ghz, socket 1156 with Gigabyte P55A-UD3 (P55) chipset, I believe it should work on every P55 motherboard out there. What I currently have installed in my system, 2 internal hard drives, one windows 7 and one Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (yesterday), wireless usb keyboard and mouse, AWLH6080 PCI 300N airlink101 wireless card and a pioneer DVD drive. I didn&#8217;t have to remove or disconnect anything. I just hook up a USB external drive onto the top USB port (2.0), as long as the bios can see this drive, we can install the retail snow leopard 10.6.3 on it and update to 10.6.7 using iboot CD and multibeast 3.4. It doesn&#8217;t matter what data you have on the external USB drive, just make sure you don&#8217;t need them because in the process, this drive will be partitioned and erased totally to GUID partition because we&#8217;re installing from original SL 10.6.3 dvd. Like all my external USB hard drive tutorials before, just get one 250GB or 500GB, it&#8217;s so inexpensive these days for less than $50. I used my little black one for the laptop experiment, but I have an old drive 400GB with usb-sata adaptor and it works fine.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Place multibeast 3.4 and <a title=\"snow leopard 10.6.7 combo download\" href=\"\/\/support.apple.com\/kb\/DL1361\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><button class=\"w3-button w3-blue w3-round-xlarge\">10.6.7 update combo<\/button><\/a>\u00a0on another external USB drive or USB Flash drive for installation later.
