    Very likely, i listed it as for the G73JH since it's the only laptop it's been tried on so far in the Asus gaming forums.

    ok im thinking of trying this on my g51 as I should be getting a crucial m4 128 gb in the coming weeks.
    would this work if i multibooted from the ssd win7+macosx+ubuntu+fedora
    also in what order should i install and which bootloader should i use?

    I was able to get it booted and it worked fine. It was more of a novelty, so I went back to windows.

    This was the site I took most of my info from. It explains what works and what doesn't, since I didn't test everything out.

    So If I was to have 2 HDD's inside the unit.

    First - How much less battery would I get with 2X hdd's instead of 1

    Second - If I remove the HDD's and install the os's seperately, once I install both in at the same time, how to I create a boot option menu?

    Chameleon is the boot loader that is installed. You will have to change your boot priority in your bios to the hdd with osx, it will automatically boot to chameleon.

    cuban11182,
    Thank you very much for this guide. It is one of the very few detailed guides for the G73 and, in my case, the only one that worked.
    Are you going to try to do the same for Lion? I had a bunch of problems trying to install it and a similar guide would be highly useful for all G73 users.
