Is it against this site's policy to use anything but the retail OS X DVD, even if one owns an actual Mac that came with an install DVD?

When I started this thread a month ago, it was hard to find anyone who did this using just the 6870 - the best method seemed to be installing with another GPU and then switching out for the 6870. The last thing I wanted to do was to buy 2 GPUs just so I could install the one that I actually...

Bumpity Bump.

I've got some money coming my way early next week, and have been planning a Hackintosh build for a while. I go back and forth on certain things, but ultimately, cost is a factor. It was basically between spending $800 for a 2500k or about $550 for a 2100. However, I think I've found a compromise...

Has anyone been able to do an install using just the 6870? I've read somewhere that people have had to install using a different GPU and then switch out in order to get it working.

Has anyone here been able to successfully get a hackintosh up and running with only a 6870? As in not installing with another GPU and then switching out. I'm planning a build and since the 6870s are a bit cheaper and more efficient than the 5870s, I was thinking of using one as long as I could...

That make sense, thanks so much for asking around. You're awesome!

Thanks for the response, but seeing those DIDs is what sparked my interest. I'm new to this so maybe I'm confused and not asking the right questions. Are you saying that all 6850s (for example) would have the Device ID of 0x6739 regardless of the manufacturer and specific 6850 model (by model...

I know I can find the Device ID of the graphics card that's already in my system through the system profiler, but how would I know the device ID of any given graphics card? Since 10.6.7 added support for certain graphics cards/IDs I'd like to know if it'll be supported before I buy it. Also...

Re: Guide - New ATI Kexts from MBP 10.6.7 Update - 5XXX/6XXX Hey everyone, I've been lurking here for a little while, trying to pick up on the ways of the hackintosh. Anyway, I had a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. How/where can I find the device ID of a particular graphics...
