AMDFTW Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hello guys, I am new to the whole hackintosh idea and I need help. My friend recently got a hackintosh working and I though I would too. I have built a new AMD rig. Here are the parts motherboard: GA-MA785GPMT-UD2H AM3 socket CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 (3.4 Ghz) GPU: HIS Ati HD radeon 5670 1GB GDDR5 memory RAM: Patriot G series ram at 1066 Mhz Hard drive: Western Digital 500gb Wireless: ASUS PCE-N13 PCI Express Wireless Adapter LAN: Realtek 8111C Audio: Realtek ALC889A What is the best distro to get all of this to work. 10.5.8 will work but I would love 10.6.3. I don't really have the money to go out and buy the retail version. Also what are the drivers or kexts I need to get all of this working. If you could post them here it would be amazing. Thanks for all your support guys. Have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a working copy of an OSX on the same machine and install on another drive on the same PC. http://osx86.net/f57/amd-snow-leopard-10a432-install-t3727/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMDFTW Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 The thing is, I don't have any money left to buy the retail version of the OS. Even though it is only 30 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your support guys. Have a good day. I have a very similar hardware configuration (except for the GPU). I managed to successfully install the iDeneb lite edition(10.5.8) still have no sound tough, but with help I will surely have. Audio: Realtek ALC889A seems to be a pain in the ass. go for it. i would gladly help whit what i could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
