ShacharWeis Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hey guys, I need to build the cheapest hack-mac possible, this computer will not be used software development only, and not for gaming or anything heavy. What is the cheapest setup possible ? I have an old intel P4 2.6ghz 1GB ram, will it work on that ? Thanks !

Khan_Man Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 hi ShacharWeis, p4 can work, mother board specs are much more important and video card. U might want to do a search for D945GCLF and D945GCLF2. Cheep easy hacks. Also U're gonna have to do some homework, search lots. A hackintosh takes some time, care and attention. The local search works but is a bit cumbersome. I recommend U use Google to search the site. eg: D945GCLF site:insanelymac.com Khan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/146636-cheapest-hackintosh/#findComment-1039586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShacharWeis Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 The P4 has an intel mobo, P4i65G and Sapphire RADEON 9550 Will it blend? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/146636-cheapest-hackintosh/#findComment-1039601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopeyo Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i bought a used Intel D915GUX on ebay for $40, put in a Celeron 340D, it runs Kaylway 10.5.2. Sound, video, IDE and SATA all worked out of the box. Took 5 minutes to fix Quartz Extreme with Elliott's fix for the onboard video. This mobo actually came from a Gateway. Very cheap system for my needs. Kalyway 10.5.2 is awesome, it just works.

ShacharWeis Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 The P4 has an intel mobo, P4i65Gand Sapphire RADEON 9550 Will it blend? I'm trying to install the "Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd" it runs a few lines of text and reboots. Does this mean I need the SSE2 version of the DVD ?
