Thanks very much! It's funny, the site has been around so long, I find it harder to locate stuff. Also living in a niche, in a niche, in a niche, you end up asking some odd questions. Thanks for helping.

Well, some have more time and inclination to work with their systems than money. You can build a good PC with that spec under $700, with no cheap components (just looking for deals - didn't include keyboard, mouse or monitor). Also, while that system will no doubt do BootCamp, if your...

If you don't want to spend time fixing things, keeping up to date, etc, buy a Mac Mini, new specs are not too bad. OR in you must Hackintosh, then consider an install of an older version of everything, where it's all stable. You won't get updated software from Apple, but maybe you don't care...

If what you're interested in is only Mac stuff, there's no real downside, if you're willing to expand via Thunderbolt. If you want Windows stuff for whatever reason (games?) you're using Intel onboard 630 graphics. Which is fine for day to day stuff.

Please ignore the specs on the side. I'm in the midst of a shopping adventure and that will change. I've read forum posts, but so far haven't found something exactly on point. Here is the question: How difficult would it be to make a dual boot (on different SSD for each OS) Hackintosh...

Hello wonderful people of Tonymac. This community has been invaluable in getting my build up and running very smoothly, until today. When I installed I used an older wired USB apple keyboard, not aluminum. It worked fine, until today. It more or less stopped working, some keys work, others...

Hi Sic, The Windows partition is unfortunately about 6 months old and has a goodly number of things installed on it, so it would be a pain to redo it all. Even with a backup I'd think the image would have the same problem with ACHI. Thankfully Calibius had the answer with a quick and easy...

Thanks Calibius! This appears to have worked wonders - thanks for the answer and the help. Now it's on to getting networking, sleep and that fun stuff working - still, this is farther, much farther than I've gotten in previous attempts.

Dual Boot Issue - Doomed? [Solved] Hi Everyone - first of all thanks for the great site. I've found the answers to many problems, and without this site I'd never have gotten this far. Here's my problem. I want to dual boot and have ML on one drive (and its working, 6870 (no wifi yet)) and...

I wondered the same thing. Here's my thread. viewtopic.php?f=22&t=19151

Thanks for the replies guys - I'll look into either building or finding one. There was a sale on an Asus card that claimed to be "mac compatible" on the box so I'll let you know how that goes - $14 shot on it, so I don't feel too bad if it doesn't work and I can take it back. I've got my box...

Hi TonyMac Daddies, I'm in the process of building my hackintosh (won't spec here) but I need to find a working wifi card or usb dongle. I've looked at the databases and so forth, but I can't find the cards specified. Does anyone have advice for a currently available card or dongle that...

Thanks very much for the advice Vendetta + Dr Who - part of me now wonders if I shouldn't just build one inexpensive machine with easily recognized components to run my Mac life and another for games. I don't really do much video or audio processing so my system demands aren't that high - I'd...

First, let me thank Tonymac - this is an excellent site, and with the successful conclusion of my new "mac" I'll be happy to chip in. My first question regards video cards - I've searched for the answers, but I suppose I am confused. As of today there's a great deal on New Egg for a Galaxy...
