Rammjet Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 You should be able to do what you want including dual boot. You may have video glitches depending upon your video card. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;hl=final+cut Sometimes, dual core Hackintoshes suffer from "stutter" where things operate in a jerky fashion with random freezes and jitters. The solution is to turn off one core, but this usually does not affect performance very much. Also, sometimes problems with 10.4.8 on Dell. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=32654 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35203-osx-1048-on-dell-xps-1710m-dual-core-centrino-to-run-final-cut-pro-5/#findComment-249971 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except you will have to set your video memory usage to 256 MB in BIOS because of some unknown bug with the higher memory. Probably will be fixed in the future.

Sound-in can be a particular problem for things like Skype. In that case, a very inexpensive USB sound device can be bought on eBay to allow sound-in.
