notfamous Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 So I'm building my 2nd hackintosh. The first one I built was in 2007 so I'm practically a noob for current stuff and I guess that's why I need some help. I used osx86 wiki to pick hardware that seemed fully compatible with Leopard 10.5.6 Setup: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P45 EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR GeForce 9800 GTX(G92) 512MB 256-bit Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz LGA 775 OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Seagate SV35.3 ST3500320SV 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive x2 This will be dedicated for Leopard and I was wondering what the best way to do it. I have read that I need a hacked version of Leopard and I've read that I could use the Retail Disc and be set. Unfortunately I'm lost when it comes to talking about kexts and such. I would like try with a full retail disc instead of a hacked version of Leopard but I'm not sure if I have to install a set of kexts for my hardware. It doesn't seem like I would need to based off of the wiki site (I guess maybe for the mobo). But I'm not even sure how to load kexts. Last time I did any of this I was using uphuck. What kexts do I have to install and how do I do that? I have tried to kind'a read around and search but I'm thinking I need someone to dumb it down for me. Any help would be appreciated.
