You can try virtualbox. It support certain version of OSX. You should be able to get more information in virtualbox site.

sorry..i am noob in hackintosh...I have re-discovered hackintosh and is thinking of re-doing this project again. I did play with hackintosh a few years back and was successful in installing OSX into a netbook and a low-end PC back then. However during that time we don't have tools like unibeast or multibeast.

First, I would like to know if my current system is able to install OSX Lion without major problems.

MSI P67a-c45-b3
Intel i5 2420
Asus GTX560Ti

Second, I have 64GB SSD, is it enough to share this with windows 7 and OSX on a dual boot?

Third, if my spec is not compatible enough, which motherboard model I can get in Malaysia that is most hackintosh friendly? Obviously, it has to be gigabyte as this is recommended in tonymac.

Fourth, anybody using parallels? How good is the compatibility of it with games? Can it run directx without problems? Maybe not the latest games but perhaps works with older games?

Thanks.

ok thanks bro for the insightful information. I did expect 64GB to be not enough. Will definitely get another 64GB SSD for osx.

As for dual booting, I had this problem in the pass where I had to reboot to windows always when I need to run games or other things that cannot run on osx. So I ended up spending more time on windows and eventually did not bother to reboot back to osx since almost everything I want to do can be done in windows. However, I really love osx and would really want to use it as my main OS for all my computing.

So now still considering and since my existing system can run ML fine then my cost would be to only get another SSD and/or add more RAM. Really thinking of doing this project.

have you tried with various chimera boot options? Such as -x or PCIRootUID=0 and so on. Depending on your hardware.

Should be no problem typing. When you see that gui just start typing. You will see the things you type at the bottom.

amd firepro is too expensive. Plus, anyone willing to spend that kind of money might as well spend them on a REAL mac. Plus, thunderbolt2 is apple proprietary. You won't be able to get this outside of apple.

Sorry..didn't realize thuderbolt2 is available in some PC motherboards.

first thing first, is your motherboard and gpu compatible with what ever version of osx you are going to install?

60gb ssd is more than enough. My hackintosh only used 25+ gb. That also include parallels copy for windows 7 vm.

You can always put big software in your HDD. But with more than 30gb still in there, you can put adobe premiere suits and others and still have enough space. Just the data and games put it in hdd will do.

fanboyism detected....with some replies....

Anyway, it is true lots of people complain about mavericks. It is actually quite buggy for Apple's standard. A lot of users revert back to mountain lion. There are a lot of minor issues like wifi problems, sound problem, samba problem and so on. One of the problem that sort of made me stop using mavericks is the GPU management problem. The graphics drivers is not stable. Many machines have problem with GPU not able to throttle back to low speed after a game playing session. Hence the heat keep staying very hot. This should be addressed in 10.9.2 but that have yet to be released. There are numerous other problems as well but not all system have these issues. Some works fine.

Whatever you do, must get a SSD. It makes big diff. If no budget, at least get a cheap 40gb SSD enough.
