jamesadams000 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 hey mate, was looking at your build in your status: Hack: Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.6Ghz, 6GB Ram, 2.25TB HD, Geforce GTX260, Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C519f) Those are the sorts of specs i want. Do you have any problems on your hackintosh? like, are there any differences between the capabilities of your hack vs a mac from apple? Also is there any chance you could post your complete system specs? Thanks so much, James Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203571-building-a-new-machine/#findComment-1367175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
