Aiden Attenborough Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hey, I have a custom computer that I built myself, and was wondering what Hackintosh distro I should be using. Here are the specs - CPU - Intel i3 550 GPU - Gigabyte HD 6850 HDD - 1TB Hitachi & 60GB Patriot Pyro SSD MOBO - J&W H55M-L Is it actually possible to turn this into a hackintosh? If not, what would I need to upgrade/change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, what would I need to upgrade/change? First what's your memory/RAM?? Secondly: ur basic OS is? 3rd: People here would recommend you go for the official app downloading from the mac store. I would leave it up to you. I am using the official version and its great. 4th: If you buy the MAc OS X Lion app, I would recommend the tutorials by CPUKID on YouTube. They are great, simple and very easy to follow. 5th: I would also suggest wait for ML as Lion will soon be old in some weeks. WHen ML officially hits the markets, I think the processes will be simplified to install it as opposed to now, where installing ML is complex as compare to Lion (at least for me it is). So, there you are...as for your specs, it looks decent, but wait for some expert to reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Since OP posted under ML install, short answer is--none. There are no distros for Mountain Lion, is is a developer preview of a unreleased OS for purpose of beta testing it along with software for it. Unless you are planning on developing new or existing software to run on ML, suggest getting your feet wet on an actually released OS first, for which there is supported software, distros and other stuff.

bigpoppa206 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Never use a distro. Learn how to install OSX as vanilla as possible and your machine will love you for it. Make your own DSDT, install with the fewest add on kexts as needed and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
