OK,
I apologize ahead of time, I am sure this question has been asked many times before. I have searched the site and have gathered a lot of information but I am having trouble consolidating it. I have a PC now that was built by a company that specializes in building DAW's None the less I get way to many error messages when using Pro Tools. Hands down Macs work best with Pro Tools but I can't afford a Mac, so like many others I discovered this site which I believe to be a great alternative to buying a Mac. I want to build a Hackintosh specifically for Pro Tools. I am having trouble cross referencing hardware that is optimized for both Pro Tools and a Hackintosh. Pro Tools is very sensitive about the hardware you need to use in a self build. I have been to the Avid website and have reviewed many successful i7 self builds. I have been all over this site and have seen many successful Hackintosh self builds. Now I need to consolidate this information and build a successful, stable Hackintosh for Pro Tools. I have a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 motherboard which may or may not be a good start. Specifically I have the following questions,
1) Will the Mobo I have work well?
2) Which processor is best to use with this board?
3) Which Graphics card is best?
4) Which Firewire card is best?
5) Which is the quietest cooler to use?
6) Which is the quietest case to buy?
7) I want to buy a SSD and install both Windows 7 and a Mac OS. What size and manufacturer would you recommend?
8) Which Mac OS version for a Hackintosh has proved most stable to use with Pro Tools
I am sure there are probably many more things to consider but this are all the questions I can think of now. If there is anything more please let me know. Let me express my gratitude in advance for any information the users on this site can give me
Sincerely,
Todd Homchick
