macboots Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hi, Great community here. Ok. I've downloaded uphuck v1.3 but unfortunately wasn't able to install it in my core 2 duo system 2gb ram geforce 7600gt with a gigabyte 965p-s3 motherboard. When I runned the installer, I was never able to get any drives displayed in the installation, so I couldn't choose where to install it (I went into the disk utility, but it only showed my dvd and also a 120gb drive, although my hd is 250 sata, with vista and a 20gb partition prepared for macosx86, although in disk utily this partitions were not displayed). so... i want a mac os. I dont want to spend too much on it, so I have two choises. buying a mac mini or building my own osx86 pc. the thing is that I want to purchase hardware that is known to run smooth as hell with least tweaking as possible (if any) to get osx86 running. any advice here? (talking about spending ~600 bucks, already have monitor) thanks in advance guys for your feedback!

Program86 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Definitely, see these instructions. They are very complete.

That looked nice, although I've looked on ebay for the machine it tels you to look and can't find it anywhere. I was hoping on a core duo system really, a really simple one. or also if someone knows how to avoid the problems I've had on my system on why I can't instal osx86, that would work too (will save me lots of cash) else I will buy a mac mini and pimp it up. I'll buy the 600 one and purchase for 100 bucks 2 extra 1gb ram for a total of 2. then I'll might consider buying an intel core 2 duo t5500 processor for 200, but not anytime soon. I already have a main system to play games and heavy photoshop editing stuff, so I want a mac just to get around with it so I can buy in the future an imac probably (once news ones are out). thats why I figured building an ox86 system or buying a mac mini. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Guest Ramm Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Check the wiki for all supported hardware. Then, I recommend going to Newegg and sorting out some hardware that will work well.
