There is where Chameleon comes to play. You can have it prompt which OS need to be loaded. I've my BIOS boot image into gray screen, so it is less like PC, more like the real Mac

You will have some sort of Boot Manager just like WinPC. You will need to install Chameleon or Clover or Chimera bootloader. (This step already included when you setup your hackintosh).

There are few method to install the bootloader. I used Chameloen Wizard which allow me to select what option to install. Look at below photos. For 2 OS on 2 separate HDD. Choose Boot0md. Then select which HDD to 1st boot.

anyone provide hackintosh service? must come with warranty though..

If you want warranty & good support, go for the real thingy. I will not recommend to run hackintosh in production or commercial environment.

yup, its like rooting an android, you can get lotsa stuff to work but nobody gonna give you warranty

boot manager, okay. i will looking for it

i'm planning a new hackintosh project.

gutting a blue imac g3 replacing with 2013 guts.



got it off a repoman for 100 bucks.
semi working condition w/o keyb+mouse.

Nice, imac was my first real Mac I had, mine was the original bondi blue. Are you going to replace the CRT tube with TFT instead? Not much space if you're trying to use the tube.

yeah, would be ashame to have lion on an uncrisp crt display
it looks straight forward when i see this schematic but you all know its going to be b*tch when you actually do it

bello guys ^^

one question, hmm... how much performance different in win7 vs OSX in after effect rendering if purely consider both are using same hardwares (cpu speed, ram, etc all same) doing same after effect projct?

I just upgraded my pc from Core2Duo to i7, 16Gb ram (no overclock); I found previously I rendering at old pc for ie: 1500 frame length project, it took up to 7-8hours. yesterday tried a different project 2085 frame done in less than 5min.

I unsure will it because the rendering project element inside are different. May be i need to render another similar ae project to check the actual result. if win7 vs OSX is major diff, i will move to hackintosh, if is not that significant, may be can drop this option...

perhaps you need a workstation class GC like quadro series

I think will be about the same if using same Software (After Effect in this case).

hmm... like that ar

but i just ter-remember final cut pro only available for osx, may be need to re-consider to run dual boot , add osx

hey guys i am new to hackintosh
here my laptop spec
where can i start?
just skip about the iso

Hi sifus, just wondering, are those old core 2 duo processor still supported by Mountain Lion? I am planning to scavenge parts and build a hackintosh.

I'm looking for hackintosh service, does anyone here know any shop or any forummer doing it?

i have c2d 2.4gb gigabytemobo and 2x1gb ddr2 corsair ram to sell cheap...

my new hack
haswell

i5 4670
GA-H87-D3H
8GB RAM
8600GT
10.8.4 with 10.8.4 2013 MBA kernel

took me a week and half to install it
this is my 3rd hack

1st Leopard with AMD proc(this 1 took more than 3 month to become a stable system)

2nd pentium E6400 on SL and Lion(easiest hack. like install windows and can plug HD4850,HD4670,HD5670,HD5850,8600GT,GTS250 and GTX260 without touch DSDT and KEXT)

3rd Haswell on ML
