I totally support OSX86 but just make sure your hardware is compatible, motherboards really aren't an issue. Course USB3 isn't a norm y et for osx. i7s are nice but they're consumer chips. Prof. Use Xeons. There's no speed difference but it will crash like never. I've never had my workstation crash on me. Xeons are also the cream of the crop, they don't need to advertise them as well only professionals use them!
Yes it costs more, but it outperforms a mac, and even a medium priced Mac Pro. I love OSX but I hate Apple's lack of good hardware and upgrades possible. This is why many run OSX on their high end computers.
You must be re-fucking-tarded, The i7 is the next gen of Intel processors which beats the shit out of Xeons, which are just Core 2 Quads. Even the i5 will beat a high end core 2 quad (q9450, q9550).
Yeah, you are correct but if you refer back to further comments whom I was responding too, the person was talking about the Xeons in Mac Pro's which are essentially Core 2 Quads.
@dmc040 xeon is just a name. there is no difference between an i7 that uses lga 1366 and a xeon that uses lga 1366 except xeons use ecc un-buffered server memory which makes no difference to the end user.
@pedobear76 only the top model of macbook pro 15, 17(u have to fucking customize it) and imac(need to customize) are getting it u cunt faced whore. the mac mini, mbp 13, 15, mp 13, mac pro and the rest of the imac range is not getting it. only mbk 15 highest comes with it as standard u fuck, and its only dual core
@dmc040 yeah, nearly all the **TOP** models are getting i7.. you have to choose i7 because its the best and only for serious use.. HERP DERP. Xeon chips are essentially retarded i5's.
No, shitty core 2 duo for 2500$ (Mac) rocks! LOL! just buy a PC and install Leopard on it, but anyway, Windows is a way to go, Mac is just for unemployed kids who sit and shit all day...IMO...i know, fuck my self, Mac is better than a PC, Windows is copying Leopard - WHO GIVES a FUCK?! IT's BETTER!
It seems very snappy to me, within a second of clicking the video it popped up. The black screen you saw for a bit is the video itself starting.
Additionally, I'm curious if he has a 5400RPM or 7200RPM HDD, which could make a significant difference in launching applications, especially data heavy ones like movie viewers.
@macward66 its not the computers fault! you're an idiot, simpleton. most screen recorders only support 10-15 FPS, and most videos are in 30 or 60 FPS.
do you have the guide yet? i'm assuming this was made for a pc build but you installed snow leopard instead of windows.. you make me want to build my new computer now rather then modding my car :(

Kudos for the core i7 hackintosh.
I am running a C2D Quad hackintosh and it's working great. Runs circles around the prev gen MacPro ;)
And to all the Mac fanboy morons - go fuck your mothers and then go to an apple store and drop a few $K because you can't do it on your own.

mate do you even know that the new Xeon X5550, and X5560 CPUs are made from the same Nehalam Architecture as the i7 is.
pkerry12 2 years ago
lol idiot... Xeon processors are not just Core 2 Quads. They are server/workstation class CPUs that are based from consumer CPUs.
Xeon can be Pentium 3, Pentium 4, Core 2 Quad, Duo, or Nehalem based.

@KingKoopa786 you are retarded too, a xeon is just a server version of an intel cpu. there are also socket 1366 and 1156 xeons.
