Any reason why for the i7 system you did not recommend triple channel over dual?

Fixed~ go for 6GB min Triple Channel if you wanna try core i7

Hi all there!! i am new on this OSX86 experience end i need some quickly expert help whit this configuration:

In a couple of days i gonna by this set of hardware:

Motherboard: Intel DX58SO BOX .(This is the MAIN QUESTION, in the local store tell me.. this mother is really, real Better, compared whit the P6T Deluxe mother)

Processor: Intel Core i7 920.
Video: Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT, 512 MB DDR3.
Hard Drive: 500 GB SATA 2 3Gb/s 7200 Rpm, 16 mb buffer (Western Digital or Samsung?).
Memory: 4GB RAM DDR3, 1333 mhz (Kingstom).
Power Supply 600W
DVD-RW Serial ATA 22X (Samsung or LG?).

PLIS.. someone try it this configuration of hardware??? (is a hardware based on the "New One" (configuration) publicated on this blog. My most fear is the Motherboard, end i don't know (wen i buy it) how to run the leopard. All the applications, HUBS, memory, etc etc will work all the operative some day??.

PD: I don't need dual boot to run the microsoft soft, i NEED only the OSX86 running whit not problem whit this set.

THANX a LOT.. i mean a lot!! if someone help Me.

Thanx again

Killax now you have to read about how to install retail leopard, so you can buy the real OS, borrow one, or download it, then follow munkys guide in the tutorial section, using 132 bootloader + DSDT Patch, and finally use Voodoo Kernel, he posted some useful links there too... You can find more tutorials about how to install retail using 132 bootloader in google for sure if you need more info

Good Luck and Happy Hackint0sh, Post your Progress in the Installation forum.


P.S. About the seller, as you know they will tell you everything to make you buy the hardware or any item in teh store, personally I like Asus or Gigabyte for Hackint0sh.

Thanx!! icchansan

The other configuration assembly they want to sell me is this:

Motherboard: Gigabyte(i guess... they don't tell me exactly)
Processor: Core 2 Quad Q9400
Video: nVidia Geforce 9800GT 512 mb (the same)
Memory: 8GB RAM DDR2
Hard Drive: 500GB 7200 rpm (Same)
Power Supply 500w
DVDRW Serial ATA (the same)

This set is better than the other (whit i7 processor set) i tell you before???

(The great stuff of this second set is: come whit 8 GB RAM (but DDR2) and most important thing is also come whit the leopard installed, and all running work perfectly)

THE BAD: The 2 different sets same exactly the SAME MONEY.
(obviously different sellers)


Would you prefer???

PD: I don't have any experience on make the hackintosh, but i guess i try my best in case i buy the set of i7 920 processor...

Thanx for the info!!

icchansan

Of coz the 1st one is the best, go for it, you can always update the system, adding more RAM in few months, ask for triple channel packs with 6GB of RAM DDR3, for almost the same money you gonna get the latest processor hope it help, but I sound like a seller here, the choice is yours

Ok, So I'm new to the boards. I'll start by posting my setup:

Asus p6t deluxe
intel core i7 920
6gigs of ddr3 ram
MSI Geforce 9600GT 512MB ddr 3

I've been following MJ's tutorial for the voodoo install with a retail dvd :: [How To] Install Leopard Retail DVD on ASUS P6T Deluxe LGA 1366 (core i7) - InsanelyMac Forum

I'm using an older retail osx10.5.1

So I get the system to boot and follow munky's EFI guide adding MJ's additions.

Then I install the 10.5.6 combo update.

When the system boots up, and it takes quite awhile to do so, the windows ghost when i drag them and the video over all seems shot.

I followed a tut where I installed nv9xx series drives and then NVdarwin1.2.5.

Now when I boot I get a black screen, seems like it was trying to configure the video card, sys. is still on but isn't posting to the os. I tried -x to get into safe mode.

Just wanted to see if anyone had any Ideas or experienced similar issues.

Thanks,
Frank Dertals

Yeh the problem its your video, cant boot into safe mode? try to get advanced support on irc, go to irc.osx86.hu #hackint0sh, good luck please report back your progress

Thanks for the quick reply icchansan.

Well a quick update I now have my sys up and running with proper grfx abilities. I'll post my process later. I'm a noob and I've been working at this too long today.

im trying to build a computer from scratch... i dont want nothing too crazy, something thats going to be under $1000 but is still good. Im just going to be using it for audio production and watching movies.. Im not too familiar with building computers and i dont know the difference between all the pc parts. Im trying to choose processors but i dont know the difference between all of them. Could anyone help me out?
