Hi guys,..

i tried Jas 10.4.8 andf uphuck on both my PC and laptop

pc mobo MSI 965 neo
laptop compaq v3000

both failed over and over until i fade up to try it anymore

so, i am considering of buying a new PC...SUPER CHEAP (lower than rm1000) yet can carry OSx86..
No prob with graphic, sound, and LAN

please tell me all the parts to buy (100% compatible)
i just hoping this PC can play flame effect in iwork08 because my macbook cant do it..

i am a business man who really needs to impress my clients with my presentations...thanks

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 !

i think i stick to my V3000 first,...the last resort is the new PC

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.

sigh....

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.

hehe...i am an apple die hard fan,...but.., i also love to learn other new things . icon_rolleyes.gif
..btw, can you give the spec for you boss' new hackintosh?
