I've been working with Mac's for the last 14 years. The thing I like about them is simplicity, the thing I hate is Apple's lack of choice, so I about to build (this week) a Quad Core Hackintosh to replace my very old eMac (and the iMac I've been using from a friend that need's it back).

 

I've been reading this foruns and wiki for weeks, and I can understand that install a Hackintosh is not as easy as a "original" Apple Mac. I'm almost shure I've read somewhere in this forum that it is possible to install the hacked files in a HDD partition and install the system from retail DVD (I have one of those, 10.5.0) and in the future update directly from Apple withou breaking the instalation. Is this true?

 

After all the reading arround here I've already choosed the components that are most compatible and "fit in my pocket". I just cant get what method should I use to make the instalation. Can someone please direct me to a place in this forum that I can use as a guideline to what I need?

 

If it helps I'm going with a Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3 with Intel Q6600!

 

I'm asking this, and I'm stressing 'cause I've got to return the iMac to my friend this week and have to finish a somewhat big work (website) until the end of next week. I'm making that as a freelancer 'cause I have a day job (things are not easy this days), so I do not have much time for trial and error. After that for sure I'll play with all of that stuff, but now I really need help...

 

Thanks in advance!
