oldtopman Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Here is the Gold Standard. All of the parts are %100 compatible. Go for it! Link Everything you specified should work without needing really specific parts. Good luck finding a compatible mobo though. Also, there is no such thing as a %100 compatible hackintosh.

Mackilroy Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 He's being serious. Your processor, and SSD are fine – I don't know about using two GPUs but I know some people have done it. 24 GB of RAM is certainly doable, just look for sticks that work with the board you pick. Your best bet as far as a motherboard goes is looking for an EX58-UD5 from Gigabyte. Amazon had them the last I checked, but that was a while ago.

neil43 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Dual i7-950 is questionable. IMHO there are two problems here; Motherboard selection and very thin experience base in the OS X86 community with dual i-core systems. neil Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/234628-new-hackintosh-build/#findComment-1586798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
