I've been hacking for a few years now. My first hack was built on an HP Pavilion (LGA775 3.1GHz Core 2 Duo) that someone just gave me. I had little use for it, so I tried out various Linux distros on it just out of curiosity. Naturally I came around to testing whether I could get ML running on it, and I succeeded. I didn't bother using a DSDT because I wasn't inclined to put that much effort into it.
Later I decided to build a hackintosh platform. I wanted it stable and cheap, so I chose the GA-B75M-D3V, good enough to get my feet wet. It's been running 3 years now. Everything works, at least everything I use works, and I have never used a DSDT. I've extracted and compiled an .aml file, but it's un-patched because I haven't found a patch repository for my board. And so I ask myself, why patch it if OS X works?
