Configuration for a hackintosh
Hello,
I want to upgrade my current PC tower, and possibly run MacOS X on it. I really don't want to spend hours to hack and configure neither the hardware nor the OS, and as far as possible want something that works out of the box : is it possible, if the hardware is carefully chosen ? Here are the components of my PC that I will kept : - the tower - the power supply - the DVD reader/writer (LG) - a few PCI cards (LAN, modems) that I don't really need anymore, so it's not a problem if they do not work. - a 160GB IDE disk I will replace (or add) : - the mainboard and CPU - a 1To SATA disk - a rack for extractible SATA disks My local store proposes me : - a MSI mainboard with the H55 chipset - a Core i3 530 (I don't need much CPU power) - a WD disk - a xxx rack I guess indeed that one should choose hardware as close as possible as the one in the existing Macs : what do you think of the above ? What is there precisely in a iMac (mainboard brand and chipset, particularly) ? Is the disk brand important, or any disk will do ? Same question for the DVD... The rack is probably not an issue, since it's only an interface. And what about the integrated GPU on the Core i3 ? Is MacOS X able to use it, or do I need a separate video card ? Thanks for all your advices, |
