KidCastro Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hey guys, I am new here and I'm building my first hackintosh and I have searched this forum for over a week now. I posted this thread because I just want to pass things by you experts before I purchase the hardware in the next week. After reading through many threads I have basically picked up a basic understanding of what is compatible and proven. I just have a few questions at the end, if you can help that would be great So here's the hardware list : MB: Gigabyte P35-DS3P CPU: Core 2 Duo E6750 RAM: 4GB PQI DDR2 800 HDD: WD SATA II 500GB VGA: 320MB Gigabyte 8800GTS DVD: Pioneer SATA 215BK Cooling: Thermaltake Blue Orb V1 PS: Thermaltake Toughpower 600w Case: Centurion 5 and heres the multiple operating system list : MS Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 MS Windows XP Professional SP3 MS Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Edition Mac OS X Leopard (x86 Project) Q1. Obviously, are all hardware mentioned above compatible with building a hackintosh? and is it recommended? Q2. I am going to use EasyBCD to multi boot operating systems, within the software description it states it will work with leopard, any insight or alternatives? Q3. What patches, drivers or important files should I have on hand before I attempt this, going by what hardware I have? Q4. I like the video card I have chosen cause I am sure its 100% fully compatible but there are better options, are the NEW 512MB 8800GT or NEW 512MB 8800GTS fully compatible aswell? *** Thanks in advance, especially to osx86 project team for making this possible *** Regards, Justin M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoYelloW Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 as for patches, ur mobo only needs an ALC889a patch, for audio, its found here on this forum somewhere, and for the 8800, im not really sure, 10.5.2 brings more kexts for that so itll work just fine.
