Hi,

I know that there is a lot of thread about how to make a hackintosh, but everyone has different whishes.

I have for now, a Dell Optiplex GX520 with 2.8 GHz Intel Dimension, 2 Gb DDR2 Memory and i do music with it, but it appears to be slow, i use an extern sound card (firewire) and when i plug it to my macbook pro the sound is much faster and better than on the dell.

I know it's a processor problem and on that dell i can't get a better processor. I'm looking to buy a new computer as cheap as possible (150-200€) keeping in mind that i want to keep my hard disk and my RAM. I only need motherboard, processor (kinda MacBook Pro or iMac processor 2.4 Ghz C2D) and box with power.

I don't need a good graphic card, i only need a 1680x1050 capable VGA onboard (chipset) and of course i need something most compatible with kalyway ;p

The best will be to be possible to swtich my hard drive from my dell to my new computer without changing anything but i don't think it'll be that simple :p

thank you for yoru help ! (i'm in france btw)

Check the sticky theres a cheap combo, hackintosh ready, hope it help u, good luck
