Girlfriend?

Failed to state board model or notebook model. I take it this is a Pavilion, since you mentioned 15" screen? Still need the model number.

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

Your V3000 isn't going to work due to the Nvidia chipset used. If it'd only work I'd be all over the AU version of Presario instead of going with TU. I'm also a fan of AMD but it always come with incompatible chipset.

No to last question. You need to wipe the drive and partition one for NTFS and another for HFS+. So yes it's a hell of a project.

Which notebook is this? You need to specify EVERYTHING. "Built-in wireless" means nothing. And where's your Audio? You don't want audio output from OS X?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

So what's your specs, mazaziman?

I'll be trying one later.

Just visit osx86scene.

Paragon NTFS is your best choice.

Give us a more complete specs. We need to know your mobo type, ethernet controller, audio chip, etc. Be as specific as possible.

That's a problem with Kalyway distro. You might want to try iAtkos.

Have you tried iAtkos?

Nanka omoshiroi. I just sent you a PM.

Your LAN is Attansic L2, no solution. Get an network PCI card. Your audio is Reaktek ALC883 so you should get 5.1ch sound. Video isn't a problem either since it's the old 945, but as with all desktops you're free to pick a good graphic card.
