I don't know if I buy the 4 GB of RAM thing. His video didn't offer much proof of that either. He showed the sticks installed he didn't take them out and show us up-close detailed information and didn't show us in the hardware profiler on the Macintosh
I think he made modifications after all on April 21st Mark created a Topic: Want to know how to modify the "About this Mac" window? I know I saved it because I was intrigued and planned on researching this some on my own never got a chance to.

Alright, I'll believe the 4GB-in-a-Sawtooth deal, but not the 10.6.3. You are going to want to hurt me for this, but YOUR VIDEO IS FAKE. You're either running a Hackintosh or running 10.5 with a modified About This Mac dialog. Your big mistake was running front row. Front row on 10.6 requires a graphics card with Quartz Extreme and Core Image. I've done my research, and Q emulates a basic VGA card. Even if you could get Q to boot 10.6, you'd have to use the generic VGA drivers, hence no QE/CI. Also, your About this Mac dialog - No matter what OS you run in Q, it will never see the host machine specs. It would only see the hardware Q was emulating. It's faked. (I know it can display whatever you want it to, I've built several Hackintoshes and edited the file myself.) >From what I've read about Q, on an INTEL MAC doing straight x86 to x86, it >emulates a ~500MHz PC. Imagine how slow a 400MHz G4 would be. There's no way >it would boot. You might get 10.6 to boot on a quad G5, but it wouldn't be >usable. The only counter-proof I'll believe is a full video from power button press to the About this Mac dialog in 10.2 to Q booting 10.6 to the About this Mac dialog in 10.6 running in the Q window, NOT full screen.
