Berzerker Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I was going to see if I could install OSx86 on my Dad's computer (which was formerly mine before I got this MBP). I just wanted to check if the parts are compatible. Motherboard: ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80557E6600 RAM: Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC22G6400LLK and 2GB of PNY RAM, same specs GPU: 2x nVidia 8800GTS 640MB (I assume SLI is not supported, so I can take one out.) (G80 based) Sound: Soundblaster X-Fi or ADI AD1988B onboard HDD: 1 160GB Seagate SATA, 1 100GB Maxtor SATA (planned to install on this one) CD Drives: 1 Lite-On IDE, 2 LG (1 IDE, 1 SATA) Networking: If supported, a Wireless N Belkin USB Pen (model number F5D8053), otherwise an F5D7001 Belkin Wireless G adapter The thing is, I'm worried about the video, sound and networking, if those are going to be supported. Any help would be appreciated. Also: I was going to try and install Leopard and possibly update to 10.5.1 and .2 when it comes out Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77923-my-hardware-list/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berzerker Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Ok, it seems as though whatever is listed there that I have works, but the wireless USB isn't listed there and the sound isn't listed there. However, there are other creative products that aren't working, so I assume I'll have to use the onboard.

Foodie Monster Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Many things are YMMV when it comes to OSX86. My motherboard is listed as "Everything works with Vanilla Kernel", yet not everything works: for example, my Soundcard. I didn't install any drivers for it yet tho, because I'm unsure as to which one will work, so yeah, basically YMMV. Good luck on your Hackintosh!
