Motherboard: MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E)
Chipset: Intel H57 Express
CPU: Intel core i5 750
CPU Socket: 1156

I hope to hear from you guys, thanks in advance!

Hi Hamza024,

I wanted to buy an iMac but I came across an HP Pavilion 6710fr at a bargain price:

Motherboard: the same as yours, MS-7613 Iona-GL8
Chipset: idem, H57 Express
CPU: Intel Core i3-550 3,2 GHz
RAM: 6 Gb
GPU: GeForce GT405 1 Gb

I have all this plus an HP 2310ei monitor for EUR 650, instead of EUR 1035 for the cheapest iMac.

It would be fantastic if I could turn this into a Hackintosh, because I'd like to learn to develop iPad apps.

Have you made progress with Elite 410?

I have the same computer as u do. With dual boot win7 snow leopard using Tony'guide. It's working flawlessly. Had to buy a new graphic card though. PM if u want the link to my guide.

I have the same board on an HP Pavilion P5601C system, with a Core i3 540, 4GB DDR3, using the built in H57 Express Intel GMA graphics. I have been trying for a month now to get OSX working reliably on this system with no success. I have gotten as far as installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3 retail, using Iboot 2.7, and 3.4. Upon initial boot up I can configure the system. run the 10.6.7 combo update, then apply Multibeast, and each time, the system will no longer boot up. It will not boot from the installed chameleon bootloader Multibeast installs, or from the original Iboot discs used to install the OS in the first place. I end up with the same result even when using a chameleon only installer, chimera, or not updating to 10.6.7. Each time I am unable to boot back into that installation after boot loader installation. My bios settings are set to AHCI, If you have any suggestions, please let me know,


Thanks in advance

Hello Gox, I still haven't converted my computer into an hackintosh because of hesitation. But I finally decided to go for it.
Could you please send me that guide? (thanks in advance)
And since we have the same computer, did you encountered any problems with hardware compatibility (except for the graphic card)?
ps sorry for the late response..
