Joe Crozier Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi everyone, As the topic states, I'm trying to figure out what the best way to go about installing Snow Leopard on my custom built PC. I built the PC earlier this year, before I had the intention of installing OS X on it, and because of this, none of the parts were purchased with OS X compatibility in mind. I installed it before on my Asus G60VX laptop using Chameleon and a retail Snow Leopard DVD. I did some research already, and as far as I can tell the P55A is compatible with OSx86, however most of the information I've found has been outdated, and I was wondering what the most painless and easiest way to install it would be. My exact specs are as follows: Intel i5 @ 2.80 GHz MSI P55a-GD55 4 GB of G. Skill DDR3 ATI Radeon 5770 Ideally, I'd like to be able to use all four cores, as well as QE on the graphics card. I'm quite savvy with computers for the most part, however much of the information for OSx86 seems to be spread around quite a bit, so I'm not looking for step by step instructions; just a point in the right direction. Thanks a lot! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/258616-best-distribution-for-an-msi-p55a-gd55-with-an-intel-i5-and-an-ati-5770/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Crozier Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Is there any way to run hackboot from a USB drive? My blank CDs are at my office so I wouldn't be able to get them until tomorrow.
