he must have been running some pretty off the path hardware. I ran a hackintosh on unsupported hardware from 10.4 on up to the current OS X 10.6. I got an apple mac mini earlier this year and dumped the Hackintosh. for me, setting it up was a lot easier than most. I stuck with an intel branded motherboard with a chipset that was easy to support, a video card from nvidia that IS supported and a sound card that can be supported. this made setting it up and getting it to work a lot easier.
now, if you try this on an AMD cpu, you are going to have a lot of issues. in some cases, you won't even have a working machine because of all the issues. anyway, if you can get a used mac mini, get it. they are under $400 and work very well. -Eric On Dec 31, 2010, at 1:09 PM, Kaare Dehard wrote: > I had a friend that had one, by the time he spent tweeking and pulling and > slashing, it took a lot of hours to get the system marginal...
