Please help me build Hackint0sh (Parts)

I have that board and CPU and it's a great combination but... what he said.

I've also got an i7 930 with a GA-X58A-UD3R and it's a bit faster in normal use (and ridiculously faster when overclocked). You can do the i7 for around the same money and have a better machine in the long run. The Q9650 is still pretty expensive.

Google for the "Stellarola" package if you go with the Q9650 with the EP45.

 

For the parts listed, use the lifehacker snow leopard guide. Shouldn't take you more than 20mins to figure out.

 

How would the OP's and Hellhammer's combinations compare in performance?

How much are these computers if you build them yourself?

 

Sometimes you can even install SL on computers not discussed anywhere. I installed SL on my thinkstation s20, it works great, FX1800 and onboard NIC work too. It needs dsdt patch though.

 

Kakewalk is what you are looking for. It's here and 167 pages so far:

The motherboard and video card are the most important part of the hack and you have ones that are known to work. Have fun, enjoy and good luck.

 

I plan on doing this soon.

I've been trying to stick with just my MB Pro, speed is not an issue but not being able to game is

I might as well build a solid hack and use it as both my Mac/PC replacement.

I was just reading through some threads to find out what I can do to build the most stable setup I can.

 

Google TonyMac.
He has a build that covers the new macpro quadcore.

 

I'm not an expert at this, but I just happened to throw together a potential build a few days ago that is fairly similar to what you're looking at.

Here it is if you want. I based it off recommendations from InsanleyMac.
