alexm54 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/202/42/ i'm wanting to build a computer for myself, based on this article on i-hacked.... i'm a noob, so excuse my being laaaame. anywho, here's the deal; when i get a Motherboard, does it come with the video and audio stuff? are the components to buy on this list ALL I need for a functional PC? (as in, to build a pc to support osx86, all i need is a case, a motherboard, a cpu, memory, a hard drive, and a dvd drive?) i already have a case, hard drive, and memory to work... if you could make some cheap suggestions for a Motherboard, CPU, and Memory, that would be great! also, will an Intel Pentium D, like this one: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...p?EdpNo=1645065 be good enough to run osx86? thanks! alex p.s) would this motherboard work? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...mp;Sku=I69-2146 p.s.s) sorry this may have sounded like it was coming from a complete noob!

ciper Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 alexm54: The page lists the motherboard model number... why not look up the specifications yourself? That is what we would have to do in order to answer your question. In addition to checking what options are included on the motherboard (like sound, network and audio) you should check if the ram you have will work and if the CPU you asked about will fit it. Realize that article was written in 2005! By now much has changed on the OSX86 side and the hardware that is available. I wouldnt doubt that 75% of what was written in the article is no longer true.

Ferret-Simpson Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Cables, Cooling, Monitor, Power Supply, Apple Keyboard/Mouse (For a dedicated hackintosh it's the only sane thing to do.) Speakers, Microphone, Webcam, Wireless. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46929-building-a-new-computer/#findComment-336252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
