haha.. great to heard that. If not la, i'm sure you bashing this thread.

Hmm,

-Intel Core2duo (forgot what is the Ghz)
-Asus mainboard (sorry again, I'm not too sure which model, he bought roughly Rm600-700. It is good quality mainboard and the board got built in wifi)
-2Gb kingston 667
-Asus 7300GT
-500Gb maxtor HDD
-1 PCI 400 Firewire card
-1 LG DVD writer

PS: I think the price is more than rm2k. Sorry, my bad. Should be around Rm3k. Everything working except the built-in WIFI. So he use the USB wifi dongle instead.

Should at least get a 7600GT. After all what's the point of putting up >2x ordinary priced mobos when really it's the graphics that slows down OS X? That being said, if you're looking for a good and cheap hacked OS X notebook, I'd say go with the BenQ S41.

The most powerful card that you can slap into a Hackintosh these days is a 8800GT.

I managed to installed Uphuck 10.3.9 on my Dell Latitude D630.

By default, the USB, wireless mouse, touchpad (no tapping) works. However it can't detect my LAN, Wifi USB dongle and soundcard.

I managed to find some drivers but i do not know how to install them. Can anybody help?

I'm also facing some problems while booting up. The bootup will just stuck with a blinking cursor on the top left corner of the screen. Please help. Thanks

it is just a budget la and for testing purpose, dude. If he wants, he can get 8800GTX or whatever. That machine is just a "project" for my ex-boss only. He can just dump it anyhow Btw, rich ppl like that. So? Are you piss off? xD

Not at all. Should I? If you say I should then I would, just for you. Anywya I was just mouthing off. I'm just saying, if he's so rich then he shouldn't have any reservation about popping an 8800 in there. That way he could show off to the rest of us who hadn't the guts to try. No guts no glory they say. As it is right now he only has a half-assed slapped together Hackintosh, no bragging rights there. And this being Malaysia, we like to do things just for show. Substance, eff that. But anyway I think it's great that he could even experiment with something so cutting edge as OS X. As seen in retail stores, people are so insecured about Apple user base that they have to install Windows Xp on the MacBooks on display. Then you have people going, "hey I can install a 'working' OS on this machine can't I? I mean no offense but OS X is at worst a toy, at best a hobby. Does it run on Windows Office? Can I surf for porn on it?" Trouble is these people hardly have any money to get a workstation and a toy at the same time, so they want everything in a neat package. Since your boss is such a bigshot I thought he wouldn't worry about something as trivial as an 8800. Beside, if he'd popped one into his Hackintosh he'd probably be the #1 person in Malaysia to have a Hackintosh with an 8800 card, correct me if I'm wrong. So I guess I'd have no choice but to be the first as soon as I get my hands on an 8800. And maybe then I'd be the first pseudo-rich guy in Malaysia to do that. We'll see.

Although, seriously, if I want to look and act rich, I'd much rather put money into 3 Mac Pros. One to install Vista, which I use simply to play Halo 2, another for Ubuntu, for Deluge, and last one I dual boot Xp and OS X, just because I can.

i just intalled 10.4.8 jas on my pc. manage to found kext for network and sound. however i got a little bit problem with display adapter. i manage to enable resolution. however i just can't ge qe/ci working. i'm using ATI RAdeon X850XT 256mb AGP (device id: 5d52). can somebody help me? thanks in advance.

Morph3us, please check your core temp with Temperature Monitor and let me know.

sorry morpheus, it was no go. tried everything, callisto, agpgart, koverg... everything doesnt work...

Either refer to this thread or seek help there. I'm sure nobody here is pro enough to help you as most people here get their solutions from somewhere else.

the hackint0sh project is suppose to be experimental and not permanent usage.

here is my humble suggestion, if you can't afford a mac, get a mac mini.
i don't see a point to get a high performance mac unless you do massive graphic rendering. gaming on a mac is still a nono because os x haven't developed their own direct x compatibility(but there is a 3rd party that does).

it's best to experience mac os x at full compatibility and support.

Indeed. Those who are experimenting with notebooks might also want to take this precaution to heart.

does anyone use Leopard on Aspire 5500Z series?? to be exact its Aspire 5502ZNWXCi....

Should be able to install, only no wireless. What is the ethernet adapter on this model?

my kalyway dvd just died..argh! redwlding....anyone got a copy? nk!

are sure can install leopard? or what u means is Tiger?? BTw my NIC is Broadcom 440x 10/100

why can't you install leopard? There's ntg wrong btw. Pentium M support SSE3 right? In general, as long as your machine can install tiger, then leopard should not be a problem. Exception that you wan to try the EFI emulation la.

flashget = 17%

donno when can finish,so bored my Tiger,wanna Leopard

Gambateh dude

at last, got my hackintosh running a leopard. faster than tiger!

So what's your specs, mazaziman?
