crobs808 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I am sorry, but I am being forced to huijack a thread. No matter what I try over the last 5 days, I have tried 10 to 20 times I cannot make a new topic in ANY forum. I enter my post it then it says "you must enter a post" when I submit it, and then erases the entire post I just entered! Ahh, this is so frustrating, so I am going to use this thread to post my issue... === Ok, here' s my topic - I am building a Quad Xeon Hackintosh. I pasted the info from Apple's site for their current MacPro, and then the list of hardware I am buying. How does this look?... === From Apple's Site...Mac Pro (8 cores standard, up to 3.2 GHz) -Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Harpertown" processors -2GB memory (800MHz DDR2 fully-buffered DIMM ECC) -ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics with 256MB memory -320GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive1 -16x double-layer SuperDrive === So, here's my custom parts list... -MOTHERBOARD: Asus Z7S = $480 @ newegg -CPU: Intel Quad Xeon E5420 - BX80574E5420A = $330 @ newegg (QTY = 2) -MEMORY: OCZ Platinum Rev2 PC-6400 DDR2 800 (1GB) - OCZ2P800R21G = $23 @ amazon (QTY = 4) Do I need EEC instead? -VIDEO: ATI Radeon HD 3870X2 (1GB) = $275 @ tigerdirect I heard that MacOSX OSx86 will only recognize 256mb...? -AUDIO: (on board) -OPTICAL: 20x Pioneer DVR-116D = $70 @ amazon -WIRELESS: MA688ZM ??? What will work in both MacOSX OSx86 (show up as "Airport") and work in Windows? === I will primarily be using this computer for HD video editing on Premiere Pro when booted into Windows and HD video editing in Final Cut Pro when booted into MacOSX, so a lot of rendering. I will NOT be playing games on it at all, but I will be using it also for a webserver and mail server for my personal domains. NOt a ton of traffic, but enough to be left on 24/7 and also why I am going with Xeon CPUs on a 771 socket mobo rather than Core2Quad on a 775 socket. So, will this setup work well for runniong OSx86 and Windows? Also, if you can answer my questions above, I'd appreciate that too. THANKS!!
