computerwiz_222 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I don't think anyone on here will give you a personal walkthrough. Installing OS X on your system is more of a "discovery" process. I can however point you to some useful resources. First an foremost, the wiki is a nice place to start. Read a few guides, get a general idea of what you will be doing. Next, check out some prebuilt distributions. I personally use the Hazard release running 10.6.2 on an Athlon 5400+. It's very stable aside from one issue with starcraft II. This took minimal effort, I would say that installing the Hazard release for me was easier than installing Windows 7 (shudders). Have fun with it, don't rush it. Take your time reading and make sure you BACKUP!! It is very easy to loose a partition when dual-booting if you don't know exactly what your doing.

XLR Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 AMD on Biostar is definitely not the best idea to start learning Hackintosh, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A hackintosh pro Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Yeah, get a new pc to make into a hackintosh, one that is intel, you're not gonna get very far with that one unless you can completely write your own kernel for your CPU.
