I was wondering if it was possible to Hackintosh a HP z420?
I am looking at a unit with the following Specs:
HP z420
Intel Xeon E5-1607 v2 $c 2.00GHz processor
Comes with 4GB RAM (but I will max this up to 32GB or even more)
Nvidia Quadro K2000
300Gb SATA HDD (will swap this out a 250GB SSD)
Do all the included components work or do you need to swap them out. Like will this graphics card work, or do I need to look for another Nvidia one?
And I saw another hack guide where for the z600 you can't create a USB boot installer, but instead you need to create the boot installer on a SATA HD, and boot up fro SATA not USB to do the install.
I was looking at an HP Elite 8300, which has quite an easy installer, but just wanted to check how much more complex a z420 install would be. Im keen for the faster processor and more max RAM amount.
Thank in advance for any advice
