Hey guys,
I need to build the cheapest hack-mac possible,
this computer will not be used software development only, and not for gaming or anything heavy.

What is the cheapest setup possible ?
I have an old intel P4 2.6ghz 1GB ram, will it work on that ?

Thanks !

It should work fine

hi ShacharWeis, p4 can work, mother board specs are much more important and video card. U might want to do a search for D945GCLF and D945GCLF2. Cheep easy hacks.

Also U're gonna have to do some homework, search lots. A hackintosh takes some time, care and attention. The local search works but is a bit cumbersome. I recommend U use Google to search the site.

eg:

D945GCLF site:insanelymac.com

The P4 has an intel mobo, P4i65G
and Sapphire RADEON 9550

Will it blend?

i bought a used Intel D915GUX on ebay for $40, put in a Celeron 340D, it runs Kaylway 10.5.2. Sound, video, IDE and SATA all worked out of the box. Took 5 minutes to fix Quartz Extreme with Elliott's fix for the onboard video. This mobo actually came from a Gateway. Very cheap system for my needs.

Kalyway 10.5.2 is awesome, it just works.

I'm trying to install the "Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd"
it runs a few lines of text and reboots.
Does this mean I need the SSE2 version of the DVD ?

You might wanna switch your graphics card.
