Hey guys,

 

I'm new to this whole scene and was looking for some recomendations.

I checked the hardware compatibility list and didnt see any of these items listed, but I am looking to get a new dell desktop and was wondering if any of you have had any luck installing osx86 on them. Here are my options:

 

DIMENSION

c521 - amd sempron 1800

e521 - adm athlon 64 dual core 1900

 

 

INSPIRON

530 - Celeron 1600

531s - amd sempron 2000

 

Thanks for any input at all!

Hi, welcome to the forum. I might suggest you do a little bit of reading in some of the How To threads on the opening page before buying new equipment for this project. In building a hackintosh, you probably want to steer clear of AMD processors and NVidia chipsets. They are not the most compatible and will present even the seasoned mac-hacker with some difficulty. If you already have that equipment, then I guess you have to work with what you've got.

 

Always best to build your own system whenever possible because then you're in control of what's 'inside'. Motherboard and video card are of the utmost importance. There are a couple of OSX86 installers that are designed for AMD, but that doesn't mean they'll work with all AMDs. Really study that wiki compatibility site before making your decision and check out the specs of systems others have listed in their specs. Good luck.
