Hello,

How are you all doing?
I've just joined this forum in order to learn more about hackintosh and get support for my first build.
So far, I came up with this config:

- Motherboard: GA-EX58-UD4P (Looking to use on-board audio + ethernet)
- CPU: Intel Core I7 920 (want to use the 4 cores plus the hyper threading)
- Memory: 2X CORSAIR PC XMS3 Triple Channel 3 x 2 GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 CL9 (totaling 12gb of RAM)
- Graphic card: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 275 - 896 MB DDR3 - PCI-Express 2.0
- Optical Drive: SAMSUNG DVD±RW 22X SH-S223B Sata
- Hard Drives: 3X MAXTOR DiamondMax 22 - 1 TB - 7200 RPM - 32 MB - SATA (one for Snow Leopard, one for time Machine, One for pictures, music, and video.)
- PSU: OCZ PC StealthXStream 700 W
- Case: LIAN-LI PC Armorsuit PC-P50
- Bluetooth: Asus USB-BT21B
- Display: 2X HP 2309m (looking to use dual display for video editing and so on)
- Keyboard: Apple wireless keyboard
- Mouse: Apple mighty mouse wireless or magic mouse
- Operating system: OEM install dvd of OSX 10.6 and upgrade to 10.61

Looking to get a clean install as straight forward as possible with Psystar Rebel EFI.
Want to run Snow Leopard on 64bit mode.

And that's my thoughts. Look forward to hear from you. Will all this work as a "real" Mac pro 4 core?

Thank you.
Best regards!

IPC 10.5.6 final PPF5.. I didnt choose any drivers
Just Osx86 tools
Installed perfectly.
For video I
Downloaded NVinstaller v.52.pkg for video
Install that and chose 512mb option.
All resolutions and Quartz Extreme working. I even tested it by playing Cod4

Next to get audio working
Downloaded http://an43.com/osx/files/Realtek_ALC883_Audio.dmg
Rear audio works im working on getting front audio to work.

I have a mini Bluetooth usb dongle I bought from ebay for $4 it works perfect with my wireless mighty mouse and transferring files between my iphone, and PowerbookG4.

Im running finalcut pro, adobe CS3, photoshop, illustrator, etc
Protools 8, reason 4 etc
I love how fast it is!!! and built under $600

Next Upgrade will be wireless. Im looking at the
Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter SpeedBooster - WMP54GS (version 1.1)
$25 on ebay.

hope this helps anyone deciding on hardware.
I did this easly with a few hours of research..and now I just made it that much easier for you

OK, here is the deal, currently i've got a PC running Fedora 11, Win 7, and Win XP. I'd really like to keep the installs i have, but i've also got this install of iPC 10.5.6, which seems like it will load fairly easily on my machine. These are my specs, and my tower still has room for more hard drives if necessary, but i'm not willing to change much else... Well, i was actually planning on upgrading my CPU and graphics card(Possibly xfire, or SLi), but that will be down the road a bit anyway. Here are my specs, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Asus P5B Deluxe
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (Currently o'cled at 2.8..keeping it modest)
3 Seagate SATA 500GB
(2 Striped in Windows Dynamic format, useless for any other system )
2 x LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1L
ATI X1950XT PCIx
4GB G.Skill DDR2 (PC2-6400)
Broadcom Wireless card (Belkin F5D7000 Wireless 54G)or(Broadcom bcmwl5)

So... Is this system going to work? And also, will i still be able to configure it to boot to all my OS's?

Hi All -
