How did you go with that? Boo123? rebel efi?
I have done one in the past back when the tiger builds were out. I haven't bothered since i own 3 macs no need for me too.
Got a tip for us?

They are when the computer you are doing it to was free.
I have not found a single Mac that meets my needs at ANY price.

I commend any Hackintosh user who takes a little time to make it work for their ingenuity, I may perhaps go that route one day once I feel my G4 mother board is completely useless I may invest in a cheaper non apple intel mother board and continue to use all or most of my peripherals which are still fairly universal for the most part.
i tried to make my lenovo 3000 v200 notebook a hackintosh. but there is no driver for the wifi card, the fingerprint scanner and whatnot.
after a few days i decided to go the windows 7 route. works like a charm. but of course there is no driver for the webcam and the fingerprint scanner
anyways, unless you use very specific standard hardware you have to hunt for drivers and updates all the time. in that case you lose the ease of use of os x so whats the point? better to use windows 7 because very soon the drivers will be there. in addition to that there is a good chance that one of the next os x updates might break you hackintosh.

Just reapply your modded kernel extensions and you are fine. (unless you have a netbook with Snow Leopard)

Not true on a Mini 10v, it's plug and play. All you have to do is install NBM/NBI and your done...no hardware mods and everything works; Wireless N, Bluetooth, etc, etc. Runs absolutely smooth and have not had a reason yet to upgrade the RAM.

Cool. I am so looking forward to getting my 10V for Christmas. Was curious about the RAM and you have put my mind at rest.
