Hello guys.

FIrst, I'm french so, the english won' t be very good sometimes. Sorry :S

Second, I know I'm a beginner and my questions are boring but, please, it will not take you long to answer.

 

2 Years Ago, I wanted to install Osx on my Pc : ACER 7720G, but unfortunately, a driver, the driver of my wireless card, wasn't working.

1 Year Ago, I came back to see if this driver was working, and the answer was No! (it wasn't stable at all)

 

Today, I come back again, to see the same thing.

so, i've some questions for you, who know the hackintosh perfectly :

 

- My wireless card is the Intel PRO/3945 ABG. I know that a team was working on the driver, have they succeeded ?

 

- I'll show you my config . Does someone can give me a list of all the OSX distributions ? And say me the best for my PC ? (just the list is already very well ;))

 

ACER 7720G

 

- Intel Core 2 Duo T5500

- nVidia Geforce 8600M GT

- Ethernet : Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet

- Wireless : Intel PRO/3945 ABG

- Optiarc BD-ROM BC5500A

- Realtek ALC268

 

Last time I've tried a lot of distributions, and I think iPc works good.

 

graphic card OK

ethernet OK (after a lot of manipulations with terminal)

Wireless BAD

DVD : Ok

Audio : I think the Apple sounds work but I didn't hear the internet sound, or video, music...

 

 

I've finished, I thank you in advance for your future answers!

You can check the status there. AFAIK it is not 100% yet (beta). The best option would be to change the card to a compatible one. List of possible candidates see here. You can buy a used one for cheap on local ebay site (or any similar). It wont cost you much.

Does someone can give me a list of all the OSX distributions
It could be difficult - there are to many.

IMHO you should try to install from a retail OS X DVD. Hardware looks compatible. It would be the best option.

Well, thanks for your quick answer .

 

When you write : "Retail OS X DVD", are you talking about an official os x dvd, with no supplemental drivers included ?

What's the big difference with an other one like iAtkos S3 v2 (i've download it) ?

 

And for the wifi, no wep or wpa support, and it's a too important thing. I think i'll buy a new card .
