Fox's Hackintosh Install Tutorial PART 1/4

Well here it is, at long last a tutorial showing how you can put together your own Hackintosh. I released a video some time ago showing my own Hackintosh, and I received an incredible amount of responses by mail and some by comments. Check out the video!

@misn100 I'm fine. I'm not in Japan anymore, I moved back to the US in 2009. I was there last summer, but it was just for 5 weeks on a training seminar.

Hey.

I've installed 10.5.7 on a Asus M2N-E, AMD 64x2 4800+, 2GB ddr2@800MHz, nVidia 8500GT made by Gigabyte 512mb/128 and a 250GB WD SATA whit a LG DVD-RW IDE. It works fine and i'vd installed it with no problems.

hey fox, i was wondering, i'm an apple developer since a few days ago, and was wondering if it would be legit if I used my dev copy of Leopard or Snow Leopard on my PC? I know you recommend a store bought copy and not a hacked, torrent copy, I dont like using them myself. So I was wondering if the dev copy would be the same thing on a dual layer dvdr? Thanks, Ben
