For the benefit of those who wish to know what software works and what doesn't, lets write our experiences!

I'll Start:

 

1. Microsoft Office 2004 - Fully working

2. Adobe CS2 Suite -

a) Photoshop CS2 ( Surprisingly Good Speed )

:) Illustrator CS2 (Works Well)

c) GoLive! CS2 (Works Well)

d) the rest works well too.

 

3. Macromedia Software

a) Dreamweaver MX 8 - Woks, but kinda laggy

:D Contribute - kinda slow

c) Flash, useable.

 

All this with no accelerated graphics as yet.

 

Anyone tried games on this? Fizzball works perfectly without acceleration. The kinda stuff girlfriends and wives would play:) haha.

- iWork 06

- Toast Titanium 7

- Aptana IDE (huge Java application)

- Line6 Gearbox

 

all running flawlessly.

 

Machine:

P4 Prescott 3,2 GhZ (sse3)

Albatron PE865 (intel chipset) Mainboard

2 x 512 MB DDR2 RAM

Nvidia GeForce 6800GT (QE/CI enabled with titan drivers)

Line6 Toneport UX2 USB external audio interface

Boot disk: ATA

Other disks: SATA

OSX:

Myzar 10.4.6 -> Comboupdate to 10.4.8 from latest jas10.4.8-reseed-dvd.

Kernel 8.8.1 (latest nebukadnezar)

if i'll post all app's what works perfect on my setup - my post will be incredibly long...

ALL WORKING FLAWLLESSLY !!!! everything..

i have used some days iMac 24" and i can compare my hackintosh to this one..

and i can said what iMac have only better processor (C2D 2.16GHz ).. i don't mention any more difference...

all app's on my hackintosh working so good as on iMac...

Haha Boo50, I kinda agree with you, i even tried out games :

 

[ Command & Conquer Generals ]

Amazing Frame rates, works perfectly

 

[ Civilization 3 ]

Hate the game, love the speed !

 

[ Unreal Tournament OSX ]

Some how it plays better on my MacInDell than on my WindoZe Platform

 

Aperture works flawlessly

ALL 3D Screen savers Work Perfectly

 

 

Thanks for all updates ... as i am soon to install some of the above softwares.

 

Thanks for the list above.

 

I have problem installing "real Player" dont know why the setup doesnt run.

 

Everything else works for me.

 

Hi !

 

I have real player installed on both my Compaq Notebook and on my MacInDell, works great.

Did you download the wrong version? Try this link Download Free Real for OSX

 

Let me know, We'll try to help ya.

Ow My! Cold Wars is absolutely amazing. Graphics stutter free, in 1280x1024x32 and even via my Dinovo Logitech WIreless keyboard, reaction time is excellent.

 

SNes and Nintendo 64 emulators work like a charm ;)

Tried sixtyforce the Nintende 64 emulator, it should be good on real macs but on my machine the sound stutters to much evry second ther eis a small pause.

 

Itunes 7.02 works, but every 20minutes or so my mp3 or stream stops and itunes quit.

1. Mathematica 52 works

2. Audio hijack pro works too but is very cpu intensive in mp3 best quality recording, recording webradio in best quality mp3 vbr 320kps takes 70% avg cpu. When making a windows smaller the sound hic for as sec. So that one is not really usefull. My pc takes only 15% for the same task.

3. iGrabnews works.

4. Firefox 2.0 works but on a certain page it crashes each time (was java related. Safari works there)

5. visual hubs works too.

6. cocktail works

7. stellarium works

D975XBX2 with 2GB RAM, 250GB/500GB SATA/3, Pioneer 112D DVD, Sapphire x1600/512 running on JaS 10.4.8/8.8.1:

 

Adobe: Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Acrobat 7 Pro

- All work fast and flawlessly excep Acrobat a bit slow.

 

Apple: iLife'06, iWork'06, Final Cut Express 3.5 HD, Quicktime 7.1, DVD Player, Apeture

- All work amazinly well. Did a simple video capture and burn using firewire connection on FCE without a hitch.

 

Microsoft: Office 2004, Messenger, Windows Media Player

- Work fine though a bit slow but completely useable

 

Macromedia: MX Studio 2004, MX Studio 8

- All work fine. Dreamweaer MX2004 feels as fast as on the PC, which is slow. MX8 seems a bit faster, but kinda buddy I think.

 

Limewire Pro 4.12: What can I say... Works as expected. ;)

 

Firefox 2.0: Works as expected.

 

Roxio Toast 7: Works as expected.

 

Epson CX7800 All-In-One: Works excellently using latest Univeral Binary drivers from Epson.

 

AppZapper: Works as expected.

 

Flip4Mac (Windows Media plug-in for Quicktime): Works great!

 

Quicken 2007: Works as expected

 

Stuffit Deluxe 11: Works as expected, but perhaps a bit slow.

 

No games... yet!

 

:)

Wouldn't it be a shorter list to list things that don't work? B)

 

The only thing I have that is a problem is Marine Aquarium 2.6. The program works fine, but the app refusing to accept my bought serial number when tried on any Hackintosh.

They must do some kind of explicit check, as the same serial works on any real Mac. (They won't answer emails.)
