hello icchasan,

lets say I get one of the suggested combinations (the super cheap one) - what is next? are there any specific installation instructions for ga-g31m-s2 mb?

Thank you,

Well for that one theres guides, you can install everything you want with it, even retail if you want, gigabyte mobos are good hackint0sh

icchasan,

you have done a very nice thing – listing those 3 HW combinations for new users... I am new to this and appreciate ability to find what HW should work. Now, I just need that other part of information – where to find installation instructions for any of those 3 combinations?

Thank you for your time

HCL 10.5.2 - OSx86

Or post them, and I let you know

Thank you very much for this list. My Macbook HDD failed last night (second time this has happened in one month! - macbook is 1 yr 2 mnth old...), and I desperately need a new *OS X/Ubuntu* machine for work.

I usually have time to screw around but not at the moment - I really appreciate this list.

Hey Im a little new to the 0sx86 project, But a mac user for 2 decades already! i actualy just bought a G5 case and was thinking of building it up to replace my quicksilver when i thought about psystar and then remembered why i signed up for this site to begin with over a year ago!
Anyway i am thinking of ripping the G5 guts out and modding it for intel q9550, My question is will the asus p5q3 deluxe wifi board work for this type of hack? I saw the regular one does. I want to start this project soon.
And i now have to return alot of the G5 parts i bought.

Sorry for the double post but the question should have been if the board will work with mac OSX

Yeah that motherboard should work, good luck with your MOD, share some pics if you can.

As soon as i start it i will definitely share my experience and photos i have a lot of research to put into it still. I want it to be perfect. I have been using Macs for so long i feel like i am cheating . lol
question where can i find the proper bios information?
Thanks in advanced.
