fittipaldi Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi all, I am planning to make me a small Hackintosh. In big interest for me is Xcode, FrontRow, iPhoto and Parallels (but I assume it depends). So here's what I want me to by: Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4850e, 2x 2.50GHz, boxed Video: Point of View GeForce 7200 GS, 256MB DDR2, VGA, DVI, TV-out, PCIe (VGA150832) RAM: 2x Seitec DIMM 1024MB PC2-6400U CL5 (DDR2-800) Case: Linkworld LC437-04 C2228, (2321) 400W 229 Euro(s) = 297.364 US Dollar(s) So ... do you think everything will run? I am planning iDeneb 1.3 or iAtkos 10.5.4 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138151-comment-on-this-example-configuration/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakine Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 For better compatibility I would use an Intel processor instead of AMD, with an Intel processor I was able to install using an unmodified retail version of Leopard (you can't do that with AMD), I also have less chance of breaking my install with future updates using Software Update. A better graphics card and larger power supply would help too. I haven't been able to get TV-Out to work well with my GeForce card. I am able to get TV-Out, but I have to modify some files first, then I have to modify the same files again when I don't want to use TV-Out. I still haven't been able to get TV-Out to work with a monitor also connected at the same time.

fittipaldi Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 The idea is, that the computer should be as inexpensive, as possible, but still it should run the programs I wrote. Yeah, I know good running programs for less money is a no-no, but I am just a poor student you know :censored2: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138151-comment-on-this-example-configuration/#findComment-977786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
