Hackintosh+ASUS laptop?

I am thinking about buying an ASUS G51VX-RX05 for college, and for my major (Arch.) I was told that I need to buy a Mac for the autoCAD and other software I will be using. But I like Windows 7. And I want to be able to play games on my laptop. This one has a GTX 260M and an Intel Core 2 Duo P7350. And Vista (which will be corrected right after I open the box, should it pan out).

My question is this: Will I be able to successfully Hackintosh-ify this machine to do what I need to do for my major? I don't need the webcam to work...because I would rather be in Windows if I have the option.

yes you can.

Was that serious or did you just say "Yes you can" because it sounded like "Yes we can"?

Nice card and yes it will work. :)

yes, it was serious. You only need a good boot file and a neat DSDT file. it will run
great.
And, yes, it is a nice vid card. Evenmore, it's the same card as the new mac book.:)

Thanks guys. I'm going to try it out in the near future.

I have the Asus laptop and dont know how or where to compile the files needed to make it a hackintosh....if any knows where I would be able to get them I would be greatly app. :)

Ok, so.

I bought the G60VX (Core 2 Duo something-or-other 2.13 Ghz and same GTX 260M).

I have been trying 2 different boot files, neither of which is producing results. Here are the two: iATKOS v7.5129354 and iDeneb v1.4 OSx86. Any ideas? I don't NEED to get it done within the next few weeks, but it would be very helpful to get it done sooner rather than later.

Also, I've created a 100GB partition in my HDD in HFS+.

Thanks!

You ever get this working?

I own an Asus G71-GX. YOu think this will work with that as well?

I gave up on it when I switched majors and had no need for OS X. I still have it sitting, unused, in my desk drawer, though. Oh, and I ended up trying out Win8 DevPrev instead.
