mindmedia Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 UPDATE JAN 2011: This build was updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.4, 10.6.5 and a couple of days ago to 10.6.6. It works perfect right from Software Update. Pro Tools 8.0.4, Adobe CS5, Reason, etc. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Hi there Just wanted to share. I've build a Hackintosh that works out of the f****** box!!! Not even an audio tweak. The computer sleeps, restarts, everything work as a regular mac. Funny thing, Leopard recognizes it as a Mac Pro. I follow the Lifehacker Guide and used the Stellarola magic installer (v3 Halloween). After installing, I have updated to 10.6.2 with no problems at all through Software Update option. To mention is that you better partition the HD as Mac Os Extended Journaled (not Case Sensitive) If you set the partition to Case Sensitive, you wont be able to install Adobe Software on it. ------------------------------------ Hardware: ------------------------------------ - Gigabyte EP45 UD3R - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 - 4 GB ram - Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT 1 Gb - Antec Solo case - Samsung DVD/CD recorder - 500 GB Western Digital Black Caviar ------------------------------------ Regards, and sorry 4 my bad english...

Hi Glad you had success. I'm curious though about a couple of things. Some of the acid tests for osx86. If you leave a cd or dvd in your drive for a while with no activity, does your computer freeze? I had a LiteOn drive which Apple never uses, and it would freeze up. I purchased a Sony Optiarc and the problem was solved. Also, can you download and install Microsoft Silverllight? If so, your CPU detection is working properly. I'm curious. If you have time to check these things, please let me know.

Treadly Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 What sort of work are you planning on doing with this machine? I'm interested in starting a modifying my current PC to hackintosh levels so I can edit on FCP. Would your machine handle basic FCP editing do you think?

After installing, I have updated to 10.6.2 with no problems at all through Software Update option. question: though you have the UD3R, you seemed to have used UD3P guides, with no major problems it seems? Can you re-confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
