StrokeMidnight Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hey, I want to build a Hackintosh in order to run some pro applications like Final Cut and Logic. I was hoping I could use these as my main DAW and video editing program, but I was wondering about stability. Is it a good idea to use these programs if I'm using a Hackintosh, or should I just use the extra drive I have for samples and files and use the $100 that OS X costs towards other hardware and install OS X later on down the line? I'd really like to install OS X, but if a hackintosh isn't stable enough to run Logic and FCP, it may not be worth the $100 investment (I'm really short on money). What are your opinions?

trus0und Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have used it with final cut and logic pro and they work flawlessly, it merely depends on how compatible your system is. I built my new rig so that i could do audio on mac rather than pc and ive had no troubles what so ever. But i specced my computer up with the purpose of mac compatibilty. What specs do you have? flash Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/176254-hackintosh-stability-for-pro-apps/#findComment-1207776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrokeMidnight Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 I have: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Motherboard Intel Core i7 Processor nVidia GeForce 9800GTX+ 9GB RAM (3GB Crucial 6GB Patriot) (2) Western Digital Caviar 320GB Drives Pioneer CD/DVD Drive Rosewill 600W PSU I specced everything specifically to run OS X, so it should be fine I guess. Just want to hear some more experiences from people.
