- 4GB DDR2 Ram memory

And I also have a... (I don't think this takes part in the decision... but...)

- Nvidia Quadro FX 3500

And what would be a good mid range (less than $200) video card for the recommended Motherboard.

Thank you so much all !!!

Try with Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3 or Asus P5Q Deluxe

Not sure about your mobo, but you can always try and report

I just ordered this laptop. I'm going into the field of graphics work and I'm wondering if I can Hackint0sh this configuration.

HP Pavilion dv7t Select Edition PC

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor
6GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5650 Graphics
17.3" diagonal HD (1600 x 900)
SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW
Webcam + Fingerprint Reader + Digital Microphone
Intel Wireless-N Card
Full-size island-style keyboard with integrated numeric keypad
6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery

Thanks.

I was looking over your hardware combos on the first page, are these setups of 10.6? or can they work with 10.5 as well?

EDIT: To be more specific, i was looking at this combo in particular:

Motherboard: Gigabyte P55M-UD2
Processor: Intel Core i5 750
Video: 9800 GTX or GTX 2xx
Hard Drive: 500GB 7200 rpm + 500 GB 7200 rpm
Memory: 6GB RAM DDR3
Power Supply 750/1000w
DVDRW Serial ATA


Another question, is the computer drawing enough power to need a power supply that large?

Hey Guys,
Just wondering if you could give me some help.
Looking to make a Hackintosh from scratch.
The components i am looking to buy are,

• Gigabyte P55M-UD2 Socket 1156 Motherboard
• Intel Core i3-530 2.93Ghz Processor
• Gigabyte GeForce 9800GT 1GB Graphics Card
• G.Skill DDR3 1333 Mhz 2x2GB
• Hitachi 1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive
• Samsung DVD/CD Burner/Player

Just wanting to know before i buy all this if it is compatable with MAC OS-X.
Also if it will run good.
Better then a mac out of the shop.
Thanks in advance,
NerdSpeaker

P.S.Any Recommendations are good, links for help E.C.T.

Hi everyone. Just another newbie posting a build and hoping someone will say it's perfect. Getting all my parts from overclockers.co.uk. Trying to pick up the absolute cheapest components possible. I'm on a budget

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 "LGA775 Core 2" 2.60GHz (800FSB) - Retail
Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L Intel G31 (Socket 775) DDR2 Motherboard
Patriot Signature 2GB DDR2 6400C5 (800MHz) Module (PSD22G8002H)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (ST3250318AS)
OcUK Swift 550W Silent Power Supply

OcUK Athena Tower Case - Black
OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM

A video card has been omitted to save money. If I were to buy this build and OS X ran well then I'd invest in a GeForce 9 Series. If it didn't work then it'd be relegated to a backup Linux server

Looking to build a machine that is close to the top of the line mac tower... will be using it for 3D, Video, and Post production as well as photoshop... I'm work with pretty large files (1080p video) so I need a beefy machine. Any suggestions? otherwise I'll have to bite the $3000 bullet the G5 offers
