Hi guys,

I am a newbie here, I really want to install on hackintosh on my asus laptop. As far as I can see, hardware compatibility is a big issue. Can you guys tell me can I install hackintosh on my laptop.

ASUS G73JW-A1

Intel Core i7-740QM
8GB DDR3 1333MHz, 4 SODIMM Sockets, up to 8GB
1TB (500G 7200RPM x2) HDD; Blue-Ray Disk Combo Drive; 802.11 b/g/n
Nvidia GTX 460M Graphics with 1.5GB GDDR5

write down all you system info please like sound card ethernet wifi specifications,

the best way to see if its working is installing hackintosh alone, also get a hackintosh dvd some other boot loader iso..

I've installed the Everest, and it couldn't identify my motherboard

but here is the rest of the report

Hi,

Just wondering if my ASUS K52J will be hackintosh compatible? And will I be able to partition the HDD to dual-boot Windows 7 and Snow Leopard?
