macgig Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Dear folks, I am a newbie and I would very much appreciate your help and advice on the matter. I have an old Dell GX755 at home currently running XP on the primary HDD. Specs are as follows: CPU: Core 2 Duo 4400: 2Ghz RAM: 8Gb Minitower Stock model fitted with PCI Express video card HD4350 (I know this card is a dog to mod for an hackintosh so I will get a compatible video card) and a Belkin Firewire PCI card to connect to firewire soundcard. I have been given a Samsung 120gb SSD as a gift and would like to install Mountain Lion on this SSD separately from the current HDD which has XP. I would be very grateful if someone can advice me on the following matters: 1. What should I do with AHCI since in my web search, I find out that the Dell GX 755 does not accept two hard drives or one HDD/one SSD at the same time? 2. Which is a low cost compatible low cost video card for the GX 755? I am thinking of a 8500 GT. 3. Please kindly point me to a beginner's ML installation guide for the Dell GX 755. Thanks a million.
