Hi. For those who have the real Intel Macs and are only doing the hackintosh for fun maybe you could give the exact brand and model of the main components of the MacPro, iMac, Mini, Macbook Pro and Macbook. This is to increase the chances of compatibility with OSx86 by matching each component to PC components out in the market. You could write more than one brand and model for a category which will mean that those were the ones used for different revisions. List brand and model that comes as stock or are in Apple's Customization tool over at their Apple Store US. This will also help newbies and you may add other components under its category. Thanks in advance. Don't forget to include the manufacturer and/or brand and model.
