certuna Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 After the endless struggle trying to get OSX86 to work properly on my 'main' computer (Asus A8N-VM CSM + Athlon 64) I've decided to build my own FrankenMac on-the-cheap using various bits and pieces I have lying around plus some new parts. Already have: - case + PSU - 250 GB Hitachi Deathstar 7K250 (IDE) - NEC ND-4550A DVD-R/RW - keyboard, mouse, screen To buy: - Asrock 775i945GZ (GMA950, max 800/533 MHz FSB), approx €50 - Intel Core 2 Duo E2140 (1.6 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) + fan, approx €75 - Kingston ValueRam 2x512 MB (PC4300, 533 MHz), approx €35 Will this work out-of-the-box using uphuck 1.3? If I read the HCL correctly, it should... Performancewise, I expect it to be about as fast overall as the current baseline Mac Mini (a bit slower on the cpu side, bit faster due to more mem & faster HD), is that realistic?

Doug the Impaler Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 looks quite realistic to me. I've had better success with an Intel setup than an AMD one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
