toramoi Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi ! Finally, I managed to install 10.5.1 on my PC ! Dual Booting OSX / XP. Everything works just fine and stable, including pro applications and Software Update. The question is : Do I really need to install EFI ? What this will give me ? Performance boost ? I realized, that EFi is not installed after downloading and running Geekbench 2. It says, my system is : Platform Mac OS X x86 (32-bit) Compiler GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465) Operating System Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Build 9B18) Model Hackintosh Motherboard ACPI Processor Intel® Core2 CPU 6320 @ 1.86GHz Processor ID GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6 Logical Processors 2 Physical Processors 1 Processor Frequency 1.86 GHz L1 Instruction Cache 32.0 KB L1 Data Cache 32.0 KB L2 Cache 4.00 MB L3 Cache 0.00 B Bus Frequency 1.06 GHz Memory 1.00 GB Memory Type 667 MHz RAM SIMD 1 BIOS N/A Processor Model Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 As I know, EFI enabled system should be recognized as Mac instead if Hackintosh. ( which doesn't bother me ) And Platform is 32-bit - is that normal ? Should this be 64-bit ? I'm asking all this 'cause of not knowing, if EFI worth it ? I spent WEEKS to install OSX, so don't want to mess the whole thing up with further " improvements ".... Please, advice ! God bless this forum !

OmegaAvenger Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 What DVD did you use? It wouldn't say hackintosh afaik unless it had EFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toramoi Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 I used AMD (!) DVD by ToH. All the others ( I have em 5 ) - no success. This one installed just fine, except of lack of PS2 keyboard driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
