supergnu Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hello! I'm really new to this OSx86 stuff (and also to mac/osX itself) - never tried it but would like to get my hands on it now. I need a decent computer that's able to run Vista / OS X dualboot. I don't need the machine for gaming, but intend to use it for the following purposes: - (Windows) 3D design and rendering (3dsmax, Maya and XSI) - (Windows) Gamedevelopment (therefore need a recent gamer graphics card) - (OSX) Iphone development - (OSX) Adobe products (photoshop, illustrator, flash) That's the configuration i've chosen. Would be really great if you guys could tell me whether that could be working as a Hackintosh: MOBO: ASUS P5QL Pro, iP43 (Intel P43 / ICH10) CPU: INTEL Core 2 Quad Q9550 "Yorkfield", 4x 2.83GHz, Sockel 775 GRAPHICS: GAINWARD 9962-BLISS 9800 GT 512MB (geforce 9800 GT) RAM: KINGSTON HyperX KHX8500D2K2/4G, 4096MB, PC2-1066, CL5-5-5-15 (2x2048) HARDDISK: WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar Black WD6401AALS, 640GB (SATA II - 2x would like to have them RAID 0) I already searched the forums and googled. I found some site with BIOS updates for the P5QL Pro to run OSx86 - will this be necessary? Thanks a lot for the help! As i told - i'm new to all this, so guidance and some hints in the right direction would be really appreciated! thanks!

mrpink86 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 will this be necessary? It will be necessary, tried OSX on p5ql-e but had not any succes with newer distributions...maybe the older ones are working but who want's that? I'm also nut sure if your GFX is supported....

I'm also nut sure if your GFX is supported.... I found this page: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=136586 and seems the P5Q Pro works for this guy. I would kinda like to use an Asus P5Q board since i like the Express Gate feature... So what Board and Graphics would you guys suggest me then instead? do you think my GFX is not supported because of the chip or because of the manufacturer? i thoght i read about guys getting geforce 9800 to work...
