Never Say Never Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi, I'm fairly new to this OSx86 community, but I've been thinking about putting together a relatively inexpensive Hackintoch. I've been thinking about using the eeeBox B202, because its cheap and small. I was just wondering if this setup would work? Here are two examples of what I'm looking at: Black eeeBox B202 - 160GB White eeeBox B202 - 80GB Some noob questions I have: 1) Will either of those setups work? 2) If it will work, how compatible are these systems with OSX? As in, will the WIFI work, audio, etc out of the box? will I need extensive patches, etc? 3)What OSX distribution would be best to install/which install guide should I use? How easy or difficult is the install process? 4) What kind of performance should I expect out of a system with these specs running OSX 10.5? Will things run quickly and smoothly or will it be sluggish? Thanks in advance!

poopmonkey Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well, you can definitely expect not much power. For one, the atom processor which is a mere one core 1.6Ghz and that is slow. What is your budget and what do you want to do on this computer?

theDAmartini Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 For that much money, I would be looking at the dualcore celeron (conroe based) processors combined with an ES2L sort of setup.
