Another Noob Who Needs Help

[MacSac]

Hi all

 

I've been reading up a lot about installing Mac OS X on a PC, building Hackintoshes, browsing this forum etc. etc. and i know more or less how to go about it; but i am slightly nervous :-)

 

1. Here are my hardware specs:

 

Motherboard: Asus P5LD2 SE (Intel LGA 775 CPU)

Cpu: Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz E4400

Graphics Card: nVidia XFX GeForce 7600 GS 256MB DDR2

Hard Drives:

1x Samsung 250GB Sata 7200rpm

1x Western Digital 400GB Sata 7200 rpm

1x Seagate Barracuda 1TB Sata 7200 rpm

Power Supply: 450 Watts

Firewire 400 PCI Card

TV Tuner Card (which i won't use under Mac OS)

 

Just want to confirm that the above hardware will work (with required kexts and whatever else) - i've checked the official compatibility list but would greatly appreiate a knowledgeable Hackintosher confirming this for me; and also lettting me know specific drivers or kexts to install and how to go about that.

 

2. I was thinking of using Kalyway Leopard 10.5.2 to use to install - will this work for me and my hardware?

 

3. I want to get a new, small hard drive as a dedicated Mac OS X drive - any reccomendations or anthing I need to know? How much space would you reccommend for a Mac OS instllation?

 

4. I am Hackintoshing with the intent of installing and using Final Cut Studio 2 on my machine - want to confirm that this will work as well.

 

I know that all this info is rather widely avialable; i have STFW a lot about this - i just want to confirm a couple of things and be answered a couple of things by other Hackintoshers :-)

 

Thanks very much, chaps!
