(not stated in hcl) can i use 8 gb ram under osx? grafics : MSI NX8800GT-T2D512E-OC, NVIDIA 8800GT, 512MB OR MSI NX8800GT Zilent, NVIDIA 8800GT, 512MB, PCI-Express which is better (i think both hcl wiki combatible) HDD : WD Caviar GP 1TB WD10EACS SATA II WD10EACS (S-ATA2 - 7200 U/min) dont know if osx combatible burner : Pioneer DVR-215 bulk beige DVD-RW - S-ATA both burner and hdd are sata : hdd = sata2, burner = ist says only S-ATA ( are those 2 combatible?) i think what doesent matter to run osx is the cpu fan and the tower and the power supply( is 400 watt ok?) ...inst that right? what is in bold black i am not so sure about it.please feel free to change my specs if you believe it wont work, except of the motherboard.....it is the only one whith wlan on board and compatible .i didnt buy it yet , i wait untill someone here says its ok.know some other questions can i use the vanilla kernel? and update like i had an imac or so?please i have to know...12 peaple read my post so far....anybody can help?

Mike2732 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Nobody could help you unless they personally tested out the hardware, I mean 'cmon what do you want? Look up the hardware on wiki, that's the most anyone could do for you, but personally, unless I was being payed I wouldn't do it for you. So do it yourself.

Poco Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I would search for compatibility on the hardware compatibility list and then search for know problems. iPoco Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112734-possible-specs-for-my-new-hackintosh/#findComment-798119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorin Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 nobody ?common man wahts up...a little help here!41 peaple read this post and you wanna tell me nobody can help me?please i need help hereThis goes back to why I think a java/whatever 'configuration calculator' is needed to help people config systems. I wish I could help you myself. Maybe VaporATX can lend you some help.Nobody could help you unless they personally tested out the hardware, I mean 'cmon what do you want? Look up the hardware on wiki, that's the most anyone could do for you, but personally, unless I was being payed I wouldn't do it for you. So do it yourself.The hardware Wiki is byzantine. It's only about specific components, but not compatibility with other items (like DVD, Videocard, etc). Also, drivers is a completely different area which requires even more 'reading tea leaves'Configuring systems is anything but newbie territory...and that frankly must change.This goes back to why I think a java/whatever 'configuration calculator' is needed to help people config systems.

Tim Smart Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Yeah, at present we are working on the exact thing you are after... A wizard that steps you though building a compatible system or lets you submit custom builds. I won't give too much away but ideally it will then show you what files you might need and what DVD release you should most likely download.
