if i take ATi graphic card X1900 series which is in macpro , can match ?
i remember someone said that nVidia 8k series cant work , but macbook pro is running on nvedia 8600GT , or is it just the laptop ?
*
yea. it should work without any problem. Btw, i heard got some problems.. for the vram (graphic card ram). If it is over 128mb, then you probably need some extra patches or what. So it will be abit troublesome la.

the stable graphic card la, ATI x1000series and Nvidia 7000series. It is only for desktop, for laptop, it is pretty much troublesome. Some guy get it works, but some don't. wink.gif

Yea.. last time nvidia 8000series don't work. But now it can, some guy manage to work it out. That's what i heard from the latest "news". You can probably check more on insanelymac forum.

so for hackintosh , can i actually update my software as what our macbook does ?
*
hmm it depends. For now, they intro the new type of hackintosh, which is using EFI emulation. If you using EFI, then you can software update without any problem. No need patches or whatever kernel. currently EFI require two main thing, first is the processor must be at least SSE3 or core2duo processor and second is must be intel chipset mobo (any brand will do).

If you using the normal hackintosh, then when you update software, especially if you doing update like from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Then you need some patches and either you can use the previous kernel or use the latest kernel (must be hack version la) wink.gif

hi
please allow me to clarify, its :
- an ASUS mobo
- intel core 2 duo processor
- 2 GB DDR2 RAM
- nvidia 7000 series vid card

now my questions:
- any particular ASUS motherboard? and which chipset?
- any DDR2 RAM? 533 667 or 800? any particlar brand working better than another?
- any particular nvidia 7000 card?
- hopefully all the above cost something around a total of RM1000-1200?

thanks in advance

sincerely,
hackintosh newbie

[1] yea.. should be any asus mainboard. Or just get the latest chipset which support Core2duo la. Or at least SSE3 processor like Pentium D.
[2]yea.. any ram. Ram don't have any issue. Even DDR1 also will work wink.gif Just to let you know, my hackintosh machine (desktop) is still using DDR 1
[3]Yea.. any particular. and Go read my previous post about VRAM thingy wink.gif
[4] I'm not sure about this. You just go ask those pc shop la. Probably can get around that price or alit bit more.

it depend on your processor. If core2duo, it won't. If SSE2 processor, i think it will wink.gif

anyway, amd also the same. If your amd is SSE2, then you probably will have trouble. SSE3 should not be a problem

i have a macbook, the GMA950 one, and a G4 mac mini....

but you know, to a certain degree, i just wonder, why did i spend a lot of money to get great machines (MAC) if i can have them with lower price...dont you think so?..
*
yea.. if you have the money, you can just clone yourself a "Mac Pro". Quite surprise that mac user want to build a hackintosh. Cos normally mac user dislike that idea, probably it is stereotype 1. whistling.gif

If you have the money, just buy a similar spec like the basic Mac Pro, minus the server processor la sweat.gif Get Core2duo and 7300GT. My ex boss build one himself. Running wildly in Leopard via EFI emulation. It only cost him roughly Rm2k for the CPU.

..btw, can you give the spec for you boss' new hackintosh?
*
haha.. great to heard that. If not la, i'm sure you bashing this thread. laugh.gif

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.
*
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 whistling.gif Btw, rich ppl like that. So? Are you piss off? xD

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.

Hmm..... Then is it mentioned anywhere whether OSX86 is optimized for Intel/AMD processors, or ATi/nVidia cards? Also, say that I'm dual-booting XP and Vista at the moment, if I ad another FAT32 partition to install OSX86 on, will the Vista boot manager still maintain control, or do I need something else to manage booting from any of the 3 partitions?
*
err... you mean now you want install osx86? once you install osx86, there won't be FAT32. ok? mac uses HFS+. Well, i not so sure now it solve or not. From what i know (last time i try), dualboot vista and osx86 will have a little problem. You have to fix it. The troublesome is vista part. biggrin.gif For me, i prefer to use darwin bootloader. More information on how to dualboot/tri-boot, go insanelymac forum.

Processor? Of cos it is Intel punya C2D or SSE3. Graphic card? Both also not much different. As long as that card can get QE/CI, then it works best. Btw, don't think that your superb old card can get the best result la. rolleyes.gif

No FAT32 but HFS+..... Hmm, so is that where VMware comes into the picture? Would you mind pointing out the problems with dual-booting Vista and Leopard in explicit detail? Just so I know what to expect.... Anyways, thanks for the reply to my questions, mate. I've actually been looking out for good bargains for the 88 series since Day 1, I do realize that my GCard is trash... tongue.gif
*
err i don get you. laugh.gif

Well, when dualbooting with vista and hackintosh, one file will go missing or corrupted on vista side. Flag your vista drive and then use vista dvd to recover that file. Then Flag your mac drive using hackintosh dvd. From there, you should be able to boot to vista without problem via darwin bootloader. There got many kind of method anyway. I prefer to use darwin bootloader.
