jdzone Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello Mac Hackers, I want to put together a Hackintosh. I have been succesfull with an ACER 2920Z all working except for built in ethernet and vga out. I love it. I have a donor pc lying about Its a dell i can reuse some of its parts. Core 2 duo 2Ghz cpu which seems solid enough, should clock to 3Ghz. 3GB memory 2X 1GB + 2 X 512 DDR2- 667 Onboard graphics with no PCI Express slot on the board. Below is what i plan to do. Rip out the {censored} Dell mainboard/Case/PSU and place in bin. Need a Mainboard for a Hackintosh that has working firewire/audio/gigabit lan. Single PCI-Express slot, 4 sata at least. Can overclock well. MATX or ATX don't care. Firewire must work! Re-use Coolermaster ATCS 201 7 years old Case Timeless http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages/200305/atc201b_nice.jpg (4th pc in the same case and now 1 Mac!) PC 1 AMD Athlon 1Ghz/ PC 2 Athlon XP 1.8Ghz/ PC 3 Intel p4 2.8/ PC4 AMD X2-3800 MAC 1 Core 2 Duo @ 3ghz/ 1TB Space + 3GB Ram Hard Disk.I want Speed here, I want a really fast booting System!. Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache. Can the mac do software RAID 0? Cause i might go for 2 X 620GB. Graphics Card. ATI X850XT PE PCI-Express i have spare. Will this work? Im dont plan to game much on this system but i want a lightning responsive desktop. Long as it runs World of Warcraft. Thankyou for advice.
