1) make a GPT install USB with 10.11 GM using createinstallmedia in the Install OS X.app bundle.
2) set up/configure clover bootloader r3263 USB on the EFI partition of that flash drive.
3) boot the install USB drive and choose Instal OS X in clover menu.
You will need clover r3263 to avoid...
DON'T GO FOR 9-SERIES BOARD, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S YOUR FIRST HACKINTOSH!!!! Get a GA-B85-something (rock-solid stability) or GA-Z77-something (some room for overclocking). Consider Sony optiarc DVD drive . If you're not going to overclock, get the cheapest DDR3-1600 RAM.
1) it's not the board but the processor that has maximum RAM amount limit.
2) Any stick will do as long as it is supported by your CPU (I guess we're speaking DDR-1333/1600 here)
3) It's quite possible that your CPU wouldn't use more than 16Gb or 32Gb - check ark.intel.com
4) One stick will...
You will need a dedicated graphics card (I used NVidia 610) and a 6- or 7- series board. I had the following setup: GA-B75-D3H + Pentium 640 + Nvidia 610, everything worked smoothly. Then I swapped CPU for Pentium 23xx-something (Ivy bridge, basically it's i3-3220 without HT) and upgraded video...
yes it is, but 1) 9-series are harder to hack (little info from people who have successfully built a hackintosh on 9-series boards, especially Asus); b) Asus boards have disgusting DSDT tables in their bios - even Clover may not help you there - you might need to create a DSDT patch manualy.
I...
For G-series pentiums (which are in fact i3's with HT disabled and cache halved) you will need to disable CPUID Max Limit in bios and disable VTx.
If you're using clover - set KernelCPU=true. If you don't - spend a couple hours to read tutorials/docs on how to install OS X with Clover.
Mini is not worth that money - you get a low-voltage underclocked i5 with 2 cores, not 4. For that $470 you can assemble a decent Haswell Core-i5 8- or 9-series mITX system that would have potential for memory/storage/video/CPU upgrade.
Yes, it should work one way or another - 9-series mobs are pain in the ass. Consider GA-B85-something board. And go for 4460 (3.2/3.4) - it is a bit cheaper and faster and you can fully mimic iMac14,2. As for RAM - I always buy the cheapest available, there's really no difference if you're not...
