sweet, time to do some research![]()
nanofrog or anyone.
I bought the above video card instead of the GeForce 8400 GS and installed it today. Installed the video driver so now my new 20 inch monitor displays at the native 1600 x 900 on Windows XP with a DVI connection. It looks great.
Now I have to go find the kext for the video board. A year ago when I built my first Hackintosh, I had spent so many hours doing research that I was up to speed on the project. Now, I have forgotten much of it and have do research all over again. Any suggestions?
Has anyone done an update to 10.5.7? What are the kexts i need to backup? Or do I just have to copy the extensions folder back after rebooting?
Look near the end of this post:

Someone got it working with NVInject, but every system is different lol
I bought the GeForce 8600 GT 128 bit GDDR3 PCI Exp x 16 instead of the
8400 GS.
Since the day is about finished, I will look into it tomorrow.
Thanks for this suggestion. I am open to more.
Hello All, I was wondering where the best place to buy a hackintoshed netbook?

I will be editing a small indie film I shot myself with some friends. Time frame is to start in November of this year. My idea is to use the latest FCP (so far, I've worked pretty extensively with FCP 4.5... yes, I'm still on a PPC mac, ha!). Now hardware - I'm on an pretty tough budget, and looking over the official Apple options is pretty depressing. I looked at the mini, but although it'll run FCP (barely), I keep dreaming of the non-existent mid-range desktop... but not the iMac. More and more I'm thinking hackintosh.
My idea is that I'll get the hardware late October. It will run Snow Leopard. I'm looking to spend $1K on the hardware - just the box, and crucially, without the hard drive as yet (I also have the keyboard, mice, monitor, speakers etc.). So how much hackintosh can I buy for around $1000 come October? I'd love to have at least 1 FW400 and 1 FW800 or better still, 2 FW400 and 1 FW800. Plus some 6-8 USB ports. What Mobo would that be? It should take a quad core, at least 2.33 or better... whatever Intel comes up with by late October. Again, what kind of a rig can I get for $1K in hackintosh parts (also: not interested in bluray, but the dvd drive should burn DL DVDs). Thanks!
Thanks a lot, pilotError and noSmokingBandit. I am definitely interested in doing this, though I am uneasy reading about how much functionality it might lose compared to regular Apple hardware (weird things like USB connectors suddenly not working etc.). Unfortunately I'm not that savvy a computer user - I built one PC many years ago - Windows 98 - and I can put in a new hard drive and memory in my mac mini, but I'm not exactly a whiz with this stuff. A hackintosh is a bit intimidating. So I'll be cautious and go slowly most likely, with lots of questions.
you guys think I would be able to run osx on this guy?

...I was hoping that by now there'd be an ION-based netbook out (dual core Atom on the nVidia 9400m chipset) but I haven't seen one yet. Lenovo announced the S12 but I don't know if it's shipping.
The Nvidia Ion version of the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 netbook is suppose to ship sometime in August. (Lenovo began shipping the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 version of the the IdeaPad S12 in July.)
There's also the Samsung N510 11.6' Nvidia Ion netbook expected soon. The N510 is available for pre-order in France.
