I'm not absolutely sure if this is the right forum to post in, but I'll give it a try. Tried to search for my answer, but didn't find what I was looking for unfortunately.
First of all, I would like to say hi to everyone at the forum, my first post here, but been lurking for a time now.
I'm planning to build a Hackintosh with OS X Mountain Lion very soon. I originally planned to buy a Mac Pro, but realized the price tag was way out of my reach. I've built plenty of Windows computers, so I though SOMEONE must be building macs. Turns out, you're a hole bunch! So decided to go this road.
My main concern is what processor to get, or rather what I need. I'm thinking about present and future needs. I've almost decided on the i7-3930K 6-core processor, but would like to ask for a few opinions regarding going for 2 4-core processors. Except for the cost, is the upgrade very noticable, or rather just not worth the extra cash? Also, any issues regarding stability and compability?
I'm gonna use this for music production, with the Pro Tools 10 recording software. I also want to dual boot with Windows 7, so if anyone have any great links regarding dual-booting, feel free to post 'em!
I will of course post a build report, and a guide if it is succesful!
Best Regards,
Magnus Nordbye
