greetings bros!

ive got myself a macbook 3,1 and toyed around with it. i used FCP and fell in love with it instantly!

now im planning to get myself a small form factor pc with enough power to install osx. imac is too expensive lor =)

any recommendation from u folks on the most suitable candidates (desktop only). the most 'compatible' with osx if possible. no laptops pls.

thanks in advance!

hi, just wan to share with you about dual monitor setup i'm using with my Hackintosh. Currently i'm using ATI 4850 to connect both my screen. Both connected using DVI connection. Runs perfectly. hehe. just to share.

Do you want to build it yourself or buying of the shelf system?

I still new to the hackintosh scene so I would like to play around with my drivers first before doing upgrades =D

Also guise what is the best compatible wireless adapter for hackintosh?

Anyone successful update to latest Mac OSC 10.6.8?

Yup .. me! I'm on 10.6.8 now .. the only thing that I need to do was to install the audio hd rollback..

Is there any way to install Mac OSX on my Core i3 + MSI P55 mobo?

List down the specs of your system here and someone could then see if they're supported or not.

i'm using winfast gtx 460, i really not recommend nvidia gfxcard because it need lots of tweaking and setting. please do consider ati gfxcard. checked on insanely mac or tonymac, if i'm right hd6870 is fully supported.

greetings bros. im thinking of getting a new pc. depends on your suggestion, maybe full set or i custom build.

but i have an AMD64 3000+ (Venice) + Nvidia Nforce3 lying around. will this system make the cut? itried googling amd systems but most of them uses Jas 10.4.X. any idea on getting a leopard retail disc to install in this baby?

congra bro!!
but i'm not willing to try it now due to lots of feedback showing it cause booting problem.
maybe this only happen to iboot or iboot legacy.
dude you used andybootcd also right?

For installation? Nope, I was using myhack since I don't have dvd drive. The way I did it was by booting to another copy of osx which I did using carbon copy cloner, and install the update into the main osx partition. Since I'm using sandybridge, I did my patch to one of the kext for speedstep to work and install audio hd rollback using multibeast.

Can help me also please ?? Kindaa confused whether my system supports mac os x or not.

specs :

Intel core 2 duo E7500 2.93 GHz [Wolfdale]
2GB RAM
1TB Hard Disk for storage and 80GB Hard Disk for system.
Gigabyte GT220 Graphics Card
Gigabyte G31M-ES2L Motherboard.


Help me out here please. Thanks.

@hamswat, your specs looks good enough to get OSX running. What you need now is the retail DVD and if you're happy with tonymacx86 guide, head up to http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/ibo...ac-os-x-on.html .. however, feel free to use other method if you disagree with tonymac way (as pointed by prasys).. there are 1001 methods out there.

ok.thank you very much. btw, can i use the mac os x which i have downloaded ? i've accidentally downloaded snow leopard 10.6.3 but its ok right ? Coz i can update to newer version later on..

wiraone - Everything working 100% with your current rig? Any advice which 1155 mobo to buy for OSX?

I've two system running SL 10.6.7 & 10.6.8. One is running on Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3 with i5/2400. This system is running on 10.6.7 right now and has been working great. Sleep, speedstep etc work just fine. The other one is running on ASUS P8Z68V-PRO with i7/2600K. For this one, speedstep works but sleep doesn't work well, I could get it to sleep finally yesterday after I upgraded it to SL 10.6.8 and set something to the UEFI bios. But still not fully working as expected, when waking up from sleep, the LAN and few other stuffs are not working. But I rarely need to put this thing to sleep though since it is my main machine. I usually turned it off when I'm not using it..

If you go with Gigabyte motherboards, you probably do not need to play around much with extensions, there are DSDT file that you could use for most Gigabyte motherboard. For ASUS, it is different story, somehow, ASUS has disabled some MSR bits in the BIOS and that causes the speedstep to not work out of box. But there is a way around this, by patching the kext file.

Choose the motherboard that you're comfortable with.. avoid MSI for now. Someone have successfully install SL on the latest ASRock Z68 motherboard, so probably you want to go for the option if you wish to.

Added on June 29, 2011, 5:39 pmI surely will not endorse the way you get the SL, but it is up to you really. Yup, the latest retail DVD for SL is 10.6.3 and you can upgrade it to the latest 10.6.8 after you've successfully installed the 10.6.3.
