My Hackintosh

Decided to ditch vista again and use my pc to run mac os x :) Works like a charm, pc cost me $1400 AUD total including 22" lcd. Gets around 5700 geekbench score depending on the clock speed i set it at, usually set to 3.0ghz :) All features worked straight from installation :) It was very simple to set up and i recommend to anyone who loves mac os x, but now the price of a mac ;)This is not meant to be a stress test of any kind, it is just to show some people out there that you can get great value for money buying a computer this way.

i have a question dude..I am downloading kelyway so I need to know some thing..first can you install mac software ?? and using vmware or pararells can you use windows although you already have it from the secon hard drive?and can you use apple keyboard or mighty mouse?

[timbotam1]

Yepp you can install any mac software just like a real mac. Im not sure about on a second harddrive , but parallels or vmware will recognize a windows partition and allow its use as a virtual machine. Yes you can use the apple keyboard and also the mouse as long and your system has bluetooth :) hope this helps

[timbotam1]

I was assuming you meant the wireless mouse btw, if its the corded one there is no need for bluetooth :)

This could actually be an Apple commercial :D

P.S, Sorry Apple, but fuck the EULA. It's ridiculous.

"but PCs are better for gaming and customization..."

Name one thing the non-proprietary platform can't do that a Mac can.

[coled82595]

@PardusShotgunner and im not talking about hardware so much (except the part about customization) im talking about OSX vs Windows....sorry i didnt make thet clear

[coled82595]

@PardusShotgunner in your eyes it has no pros...in mine it does so it shouldnt matter to you what my preferences are

[PardusShotgunner]

@coled82595

The proprietary Mac computer has no pros. Argument invalid.

@timbotam1 is your mobo an asus P5N-E SLI board by any chance? I have the same cpu same amount of ram same graphics and the board i mentioned. did you use retail? Because if so could you tell me how please? I'm currently running a hacked distro of OS X called Hazard 10.6.2

[coled82595]

come on guys these are your personal views...i personally like macs for everyday use, but PCs are better for gaming and customization...there are pros and cons to both...but i dont say one person is wrong because they think differently

[coled82595]

same here

[coled82595]

but you can run windows right next to osx on macs

Im about to use Kalyway on AMD :) Hope it Works!

Stop Paying Money To Steve! But really it just doesnt feel like a apple computer. Oh well
