Thanks and I will apreciate any knowledge and help!

Well first you can check here to see if your hardware is listed:

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.8

 

if its not, it doesnt mean it wont work you will just have to try it and see.

 

There are alot of step by step guides here:

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...allation_Guides

 

There really isnt a need for a guide if your hardware is supported.

you just stick in the DVD and it will install just like any other OS.

 

If you have problems getting something to work you can ask the forum for help

and check here first:

I have tried to help several of my friends get OSX running on their own hardware, even told them what to get,

but its not for the faint of heart, you cant be afraid of editing files or digging into the forum and wiki and do alot

of research and reading.

 

With all the people on this forum chances are your questions have already been asked and answered you

just have to find them.

 

I must say that ive had no success with a raid of any kind for my boot drive (i wish i could get it working)

but i have yet to find a card or an on board controller that will work.

 

But even if you cant get raid to work, you can still try to get it going with a single drive and do what i did,

which was to install a pair of drives in my machine and make them into a raid afterwords. which i use that for

ripping dvds, downloads, photoshopping etc. This is all with software raid through apples disk utility. you

just have a seperate drive on your desktop. not a big deal for me though.

 

Hope this gets you started.
