I am fully aware of that. what about older version of Mac OSX? SL works or not on my ring?

Shouldnt be a problem, but its a bit tricky. Have to use modified kernel so your Hacintosh could run onto AMD platform..

Gengstapo, not sure about that bro, very slim chance that your intel GMA 4500HD is supported.
Nicely done, get an Apple Keyboard, works best  biggrin.gif

mind posting your geekbench here.

Cheers!

DSDT very important to eliminate the hardware limit when you running OSX on generic PC. It could also fix the problem where no driver support for certain hardware~

Vanilla in short, running Apple OS X with generic PC & maintaining their "genuine" signature so it can be updated regularly without breaking the system itself, this from what I know..
