CaptainNemo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Would be pretty cool to know DETAILED information Like mainboard type (for example: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 or s.th.).

Mikey4 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Oops sorry about that Conroe 1333-D667 R3.0 2048 MB DDR2 MEMORY 320GB SATA 8MB CACHE HDD Ram:2MB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95833-using-spare-pc-for-hackintosh-but-will-this-setup-work/#findComment-683567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainNemo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 You talk about this AsRock Board, don't you? - Northbridge-chipset: Intel 945GC A2 - Southbridge-chipset: Intel ICH7 - LAN-Chip: Realtek - LAN-Speed: 10 Mbit (IEEE 802.3), 100 Mbit (IEEE 802.3u) - Audio-Chip: ALC888 Audio Codec - Audio-Channel: 7.1 (Surround) If so: 945 should work fine, ALC888 works great, too. I would try Kalyway 10.5.x if I was you.

Mikey4 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Kalyway. I did try to install tiger(Jas version10.4.8) in the beginning but all that does is reboot after a few seconds and brings up the install prompt.

CaptainNemo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hmm never noticed this message before. Because there's a bit trouble with the searchengine/function, try to Google for: site:insanelymac.com "MAC Framework initialized". Maybe you'll find a solution with this... Try to reload the "optimized/default settings" on your BIOS..
