littlerespect Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hey guys! After my Macbook took over my "normal" PCs place, I sweared to myself I will never install any version of windows on my future (Apple-)Hardware. I am absolutely satisfied with my macbook but sometimes I miss the feeling of playing games on the PC, so i decided to buy a Hackintosh with better hardware (especially Graphiccard). So I could play Games without having to install windows. Which hardware would you recommend me? The whole Hardware shouldn't be tooooooo expensive maybout about 500-700$ Ah yeah LAN-function is very important because I'm playing at LAN-Parties sometimes. So gigabit LAN would be very nice!

apowerr Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'd just go with an Intel Core 2 Duo, or wait for the new Penryn stuff to be out and more mainstream. It's probably best for you to install Windows if you want to game and LAN though. Running games in Parallels or VMWare Fusion is not as fast as running them natively.

ZdProjects Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Here's what you should have: mobo:$99.99 GA-P35-DS3L(think its that one) graphics:$239 MSI 8800GT proc: i have a E6320 and its good but you can get a lot faster proc for a little more now RAM: i have OCZ Reaper but almost anything will do HDD:almost anything will do also, but if you want somehting fast get WD Raptor optical:$25 samsung SH-S203B case: just stay cheap since your on a budget Overall my current system witch consists of the E6320, 8800GTS 640mb(G80), eVGA 122-CK-NF68(nForce 680i), OCZ Reaper, WD Raptor, and samsung SH-S203B in a Antec P182se. I can play any game at max resolution and settins all up. I also have a 22" widescreen 1680X1050 res. RIght now you can build a great system for a small price. Don't forget to buy OSes, especially if your gonna put OS X on it. You should pay for great software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
