stilton Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Thinking of building a Hackintosh, from the research I've done so far this seems to be a reasonable build. Has anyone built this hardware configuration or portions of it ? Since the new Mac Pros can be ordered with a Radeon 5870 I assume that card will work ? I did notice the Mac Pros come with DDR3 1333 rather than DDR3 1600 ? Will 1600 work ? Any thoughts, comments, critiques would be appreciated Processor: Intel Core i7 930 Quad Core Processor LGA1366 2.8GHZ Mother Board: Gigabyte X58A-UD5 ATX LGA1366 RAM: Corsair XMS3 6GB DDR3 1600 3X2GB Video Card: Radeon HD 5870 850MHZ 1GB GDDR5 Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 6GB/S 7200 RPM DVD Writer: LG Black 22X SATA DVD Writer OEM (GH22NS50) Case: Cooler Master Haf 932 (Not relevant but listing it anyway) Power Supply: Seasonic 620W ATX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
