Hi Guys,

 

hope i'm in the right category.

 

i just wanted to know, if my computer system is qualified for benefit for a os x installation in 64bit.

 

My computer system has following hardware components:

 

processor: Intel Core i7-920

ram: 6GB Triple-Kit OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666

graphiccard: (ATI) XFC RADEON HD 4890 1GB DDR5 PCI-E 2.0

mainboard: ASUS P6T SE, Sockel 1366, ATX, DDR3

 

I don't know how much these information are helping you:

HDD: 2x 640GB 7200rpm

CD/DVD: LG GH22LS30

power supply: BE Quiet! Dark Power Pro P7 550Watt

 

 

So, what do you say? ;)

 

 

Thanks for your time.

 

 

Greetings

Hello,

 

the computer is great, but the only problem I see is the VGA board. I would go for a nvidia 285gtx. It is reaaaly difficult to set up the OSX86 on a ATI VGA board. They are picky and only netkas can run them with 64 bits kernel, we mere mortals can't.

Thanks a lot.

 

So 64bit is for now cancled?

 

The ATI graphiccards, i was warned as i bought this card and that i better use a nvidia...damn it ;)

 

But it wouldn't be impossible to set up the osx86 on the vga board?

 

Another question:

The processor is from Intel, if the apple operating system is running on the computer, would it be possible to write iphone apps?

 

Thanks a lot

No, it would not be impossible to set up this board, it will be more difficult. I will guess a 5% chances of running 64 bits kernel (you can still run 64 bits apps like xcode, safari, etc) and a 75% chances of running with no problems in 32 bits. But you will have to dig a lot (especially on netkas.org site).

 

About iphone apps, I write iPhone apps with my OSX86 (Q6600 with Gigabyte mobo, 4gb of ram, 128gb SSD, 1TB hd and ATI 4850 urgh (soon to be replaced by a nvidia 250gts) vga. And I have some apps in the apple app store. There is absolutely no problems on developing apps on a hackintosh.

Ahhhh that sounds like music in my ears :)

 

Do you have a starting point for me, cause i don't know how to start. I even haven't OS X Software just yet. :rolleyes:

 

 

Thank you very much

1) Buy (or get somehow) Leopard / Snow Leo

2) Install on your machine following the manuals you can get on this great forum (keep installing/uninstalling until it gets rock solid) If your installation is not 100% you will get problems when developing (kernel panics, etc)

2b) Learn how Leopard/Snow Leo works (it seems that you are not very familiar with apple OS???)

3) Install XCode 3.2

4) Get iPhone SDK 3.0 on developer.apple.com/iphone (you must be registered)

5) Learn how to use XCode

6) Learn objective-c

7) Learn how to code for iPhone

8) Develop your app and send it to app store

 

You will start to understand it better after 6 months of hard work.

That motherboard may be a pain to get snow running on or leopard in general it has different specs than the deluxe version and doesn't have the normal ICH10 chipset but instead a ICH10R with a JMicron JMB363 southbridge. My friend LITERALLY has the exact same setup and the other day I tried getting Snow to work for a few hours but to no avail. I plan on trying some more later this week though, So if I get it working Ill write a guide you can use.

 

Here Are your Boards specs

P6T & SE version

Chipset : X58/ICH10R

Lan : Realtec 8111C

Audio : Realtec ALC1200

Southbridge/Storage : JMicron JMB363

 

 

and don't listen to karamat lol, your System is very powerful

One thing....

 

I've got a notebook (HP 6735s) with following system information:

 

Processor: AMD Athlon X2 DualCore QL-62 ~2.0GHz

Ram: 1788 MB

Systemmodell: HP Compaq 6735s

Graphiccard: ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics (uses shared memory if i'm not mistaken)

 

Is it possible to install os x on it?

 

Thanks a lot! :shock:
