AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Socket 939 8 GB HD (Startup Disk) 40 GB HD (Storage Drive) 7200 RPM (And several firewire 400 drives...) Sapphire Radeon X1600 PRO - AGP Interace. 256 MB Memory - 128 Bit Memory Interface Kingston ValueRAM - 2x256 MB PC3200 CL3 184-Pin DDR AsRock 939Dual-Sata2 Currently running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 I intend to upgrade the RAM to the full capacity of the motherboard. What do I need any where can I get it? Thanks so much for any help! Peter Title: Re: Trying to make a Hackintosh! Please Help!

At first: Which OSX do you want to install on your PC old Tiger, Leopard.... I try to install Leopard, because there is a easy distro , a modded version of course, which is called Leo4all. Search a torrent bei google and donwload it. Then make a DVD to boot from it and install your OSX. The next step is to make sure , that your Hardware you use is compatible to OSX. I am worry about your AGP graphic card. Also you have to configure your BIOS settings, because of Harddrives and Boot settings. this is a big overview to install OSX on a PC. for better instructions visit youtube or other websites. That's it I think. Pretorian |
