Hi,

i'm new here and i thought that this may be the right place to post my thread, please move it if i'm wrong.

I want to know if i can install a yosemite distro on my pc.
Here are the specifications:
CPU:Intel core i5 4690

MoBo:ASUS H97-PRO

GPU:Intel integrated 4600

PS/2 Keyboard

USB 2.0 Mouse

ATAPI Disk Writer

RAM: 8GB CL9 1600Mhz

LAN:Intel® I218V Gigabit

Audio: Realtek® ALC892

Monitor: MX279H

 

If you need any other just ask it and i will give you ;)

 

P.S. I'd like to know even if it will be better for me to install mavericks instead of yosemite

Thanks,

and did you know which yosemite/mavericks distro i should install?

there's only distro mavericks for now, it's iAtkos-Mavericks and Niresh-Mavericks.

Yosemite is only available as Retail. If you want something simple, go with Niresh-Mavericks. You can make UFD installer from windows with win32diskImage.

dont recommend distros as simpler. they are not, they are faulty and unstable. with the guides provided here, it is even simpler than those terrible distros.

well, sorry for that then.. it is true that distros are unstable. After using Yosemite for nearly 12hours now, I can say that retail is more stable.

Hello

 

You're Welcome... but, forget distro... retail is great ;)

Yeah, i had tried iatkos mountain lion on a old pc, it was a bad experience but i've choosed distro because it was easier, now i will not make the same mistake thank to you guys :wub:

 

(Sorry for my bad english)

P.S.Is it worth to install hackintosh mac os x on my pc(with the hardware that i've posted before) to use graphic editing and video editing? Or for your opinion it will go better on windows or linux distro?

 

This may be offtopic xD

it is able to to the hackintosh, I don't know how much you need to do for the graphic intel hd 4600 to work correctly.

good luck those. in these case google search engine is your best friend.

thank you for the answer, my original GPU for this setup PC was AMD R9 290, but i get moneyback by returning it to amazon because new more powerfull and same price as R9 290 are coming out

I was wondering In a generale way if graphic programms and video editing programs run better on OS x yosemite or windows 8.1

for the powerful on editing in graphics and video, look and replica new mac pro Ivy-xeon and the graphics card AMD firepro. The hard part is firguring right the AMD graphics cards work and support native in OSX. On the Nvidia field, people got the cuda to accelerate in program such Adobe edidting.

the new iMac 5k, they use the Radeon R9 M290X. I wonder how much would they support on the Radeon R9 or R7 desktop line?

BTW, try and let us know about. such thing as SSD and fast ram bring some benefit to the editing also.

Yes, but from what i've heard the amd gpu were better for editing(vfx, gfx) because of CTM(a lower language than CUDA) that has more parallel stuff power xD

Now i will try with the integrated gpu, when i will buy the new GPU(because i am waiting amd new r9 3xx series on Q1 2015*) so i will have more experience on hackintosh.

 

*I am waiting AMD R9 3XX series becasue now NVIDIA has released the new GTX 9xx series, and when even amd will release the new GPUs i will choose between them.

Is there any guide to install Yosemite Retail with clover? Because i have ASUS H97-PRO mobo and i use UEFI.

Hello

 

You need put it in Arguments...

 

A Example:

<key>Boot</key>
<dict>
      <key>Arguments</key>
      <string>kext-dev-mode=1 -v</string>

I don't know programming and i am on windows actually, but you mean that i have to input that line in the command line in the bottom like for example with chameleon when i write the command to activate the verbose mode?

Hello

 

Yes, you can type this in Chameleon Screen Bootloader... -v kext-dev-mode=1

 

I believe that you're using Clover because of this i give that code block to you.... but if you want boot Yosemite with Chameleon everythime without type always kext-dev-mode=1 in Boot Screen, you need put this flag in org.chameleon.boot.plist, use Chameleon Wizard to make this :)
