Best way to instal OSX 10.6 on a GA-P35-DS4

[seninha]

Let's start by telling that this will be my first Hackintosh system.

 

Main reason for building a Hackintosh is the fact that I want to have a bigger and faster system next to my 13" Macbook.

Could buy a Imac, but want to keep my windows system so I can continue playing my games (rFactor, CoD )

 

Now back to my question.

 

Already have done some reading about hackintosh,and find out very fast that a Gigabyte mainboard was the thing to have.

that's why i did get me a used Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 board.

Rest of my specs are:

 

-2x 250gb SATA HDD. (one will be used for Wind7 and the other for OSX)

-Samsung SATA DVD-RW

-2x1GB G-skill 800Mhz

-2x1GB OCZ 800Mhz

-Sapphire ATI 4870

 

Idea is to use my 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD.

 

Can someone help me find out the best way, but also the easiest way to install OSX 10.6 on this system?

 

Already found a topic where they installed OSX on this mainboard , but that was with OSX 10.4

Hope one of you can give me a push in the right direction

if the 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD you are referring to came with your macbook, IT WILL NOT WORK. You need a retail version of it.

I think the easiest for a lot of people is [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] retail install. Some people will disagree and say that distros are easier. I prefer distro myself.

 

There is no "best" way, since different people have different hardware. All I can say is, hit the "Tutorials" area and read, read, read.

Thanks for your reply. OSX DVD is a retail one so that should not give any problem

 

Biggest problem I have at this point is trying to install OSX on my system using an ATI 4870.

Have been all weekend trying to get it to work,but until know it was not possible to get to the installation part of OSX.

 

System always stops before the OSX installation itself (from DVD) starts.

 

Already tried different ways:

 

-[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]

-Empire EFI

-OSX 10.6 image restored on my Ext.Hdd together with Myhack 1.1

 

Also followed this guide: GA-P35-DS4 and OSX

But again no luck.

 

Specs of sysem I use:

 

-Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4

-4gb DDR2 (already tried with only 2GB)

-250gb SATA HDD (connected to ORANGE SATA connector)

-Sapphire ATI 4870 512mb

-Intel E8400 C2D

-USB mouse

-USB G15 keyboard

 

No other hardware is attached to the system when i tried to install OSX.
