- Check out the list in OSX86/InsanelyMac. My suggestion is to go for 945 chipsets or 965 chipsets. The newer one should be okay. Go for Core 2 Duo , make sure it has SSSE3 and EM64T. You need that for PC EFI.

- Anything will do

- Nvidia GeForce 7300GT. Get this one. Dont get the 512MB version , get the 256MB version. Its pretty rare to find this card. This is one of the cards that just works. You pop in and bam it just works. If they dont have that in market go for ATi such as X1600. The latest and greatest X2600 XT and X2900 XT works as well (you gotta do some tweaking , and gotta install PC EFI). Worst come to worst pick a mobo which has GMA 950 and you are set

- yes you can build a hackintosh under $USD 250 as well. Its not a problem at all.

Reporting in!

Now I have a 'almost' fully working 10.5.1 on my system. It's pretty fast I must say. Apart for some confusing bios setting (AHCI vs IDE etc.), installing it was a breeze!

The best part is that this version enables us to use the vanilla kernel, which 'might' enable us to update once 10.5.2 comes out!

I did it the Kalyway.

Hi,

Just want ur guide.

If I have system:

Proc C2D e6300

Can I install OSX with this spec. Thank.

Hi guys,

I downloaded the uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4i r3 and i've created an unallocated partition in my laptop, selected the partition and set it active. I inserted the uphuck dvd into my lappy and when i reboot, after the darwin loading screen, the installer got stuck in the Apple boot screen.

I have tried to use -v to see if there's any error message but there's none, and got stuck in halfway at the AHCI.

My lappy is running on Intel processor and it's SSE2.

What's the problem? Please help. Thanks.

hey....as u all know the intel pro wireless 3945 drivers are not supported by mac os 10.5.1

was just thinking the next best option would be the dell 1490 card....any idea where i can get 1 of those in malaysia?? cause the shipping cost from the US is just too much to for a university student like me.. =(

ps: i got another question, when i install the ISO, why i dun have the option to click on the "option" button to select the type of partition table? the option button just remains unhighlighted....sigh...any sifu can help me?

Should work !
Mind posting what motherboard and controller that it is using ?


Does it have any expresscard slot ?. Have you tried calling Dell Malaysia. They might have that in stock !. If you have expresscard slot you could go ahead and get one of those broadcom/atheros card

I'm using NEC Versa E6000 laptop. Here are the specs

Processor : Intel Pentium M 1600MHz
Mainboard: Model NEC Versa P520
Chipset : ATI RS300/RS300M
Southbridge: ATI SB200

I'm getting the JaS 10.4.8 installer soon as I got stuck at the AHCI section with the uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4i r3 during installation.

Any idea what went wrong?
May i know which version of OSX86 is compatible with my machine?

Thank you very much.

hardly can see any expresscard device being sold here..

The problem lies within your SOUTHBridge. SB200 isn't supported out of the box. You gotta patch it. To do that you gotta install the VMWARE method. Trust me , its not really worth it to install on ATI SB 200 series as its buggy !

any idea wat is dell's contact number?? i'll call them tomorrow...

thx..=)

I've got the Mac OSX86 10.4.1 previously using VMware. Now i would like to try 10.4.8 and dual boot with Vista. Is there any other way?

I'm using Acer 5672 WLMI laptop. Here are the specs

Processor : Intel Core processor T2300 @ 1.66Ghz
Mainboard: Model NEC Versa P520
Chipset : Intel i945PM
Southbridge: Intel 82801 GHM
Ati Radeon x1400 256mb


May i know which version of OSX86 is compatible with my machine?

Thank you very much.

can i install hackintosh and use bootcamp to install my windows ?

I'm not too sure about the graphics card. Its supported but i think it works only with external displays !

I think i saw that question popup twice or...

Dude, go google it la before you post those type of questions

i've tried re-installing 10.5.1 but it all fail at the blinking cursor...everything was perfect...but after re-installing and restarting, the "blinking cursor of death" appeared....

i've already read up on forums and tried using the method specified such as writing zero thingy in disk utility but it is still the same

the reason why i re-installed it is because i wanna make it dual boot with Vista and i've set MBR as the partition table of choice

before this, i was able to install it with the vanilla kernal but now it all semms impossible, i gotta use the cd to boot to the operating system....any help guys?

What model of v3000 are you trying to get working? I might be able to help.

Look in the OSX86 wiki

My suggestion :

Intel Pentium/Celeron or something that has SSE3

Intel 945 series board (that carries GMA 950 , and Intel sound) (see a couple of suggestions in OSX86 Wiki)

and then you are set.

I would suggest you to invest on a decent graphics card like 7300GT !

Pentium M 1.6 nia you wanna dual boot to Vista for f&^% what? So you can use MS Office? Get with the program and use Parallels lah. Be Visss-- free and get your menthol fresh back.
