Hi all,

First, a big thanks to tonymac, macman, lnx2mac and others involved in this project.

This is my first post in which I'll describe my hackintosh and installation process.

Hardware:
MBO Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3, rev.2.0 (BIOS F10)
Intel iCore 5 760, 2,8GHz, Lynnfield
RAM 4GB, Corsair 1333MHz
Sapphire ATI Readeon 5770, 1GB
HDD Samsung, 500GB
Samsung Optiarc DVD/RW
PS 650W RaptorX + some no-name cheap case

Installation (more-less classic):
1. BIOS setup by lnx2mac
2. Boot with iBoot
3. On boot prompt , inserted SL 10.6.3 retail (formated drive etc.)
4. After install has finished, I booted my system with iBoot
4.1 System runs fine, but without sound and in 1024x768 resolution
5. Ethernet worked oob so I've downloaded DSDT for my MBO (saved on Desktop), Multibeast 3.0.0 and 10.6.5 ComboUpdate
6. Opened Multibeast
6.1 Ran Combo update
6.2 Back in Multibeast
6.3 I've checked next things in it:
- UserDSDT
- Aty_Init Vervet + GraphicEnabler=No
- Alc889
6.4 Reboot
7. Network was gone so I've downloaded Lnx2Mac RTL81xx OS X driver, rebooted and it worked
8. Sound was not recognized so I did:
8.1 Open Multibeast
8.2 Select ALC8xxHDA + AppleHDA Rollback + System Utilities
8.3 Reboot
9. That's it (I think I didn't forgot anything crucial)

The system is rock solid, stable and has QE/CI without any extra hacks etc.
In addition to speed, I have compared my friends hackintosh, also retail with combo update (Asus MBO, i7, ram 6GB, GeForce 240) with xbench and it shows exact scores (I think mine was 282.88 and his 282.02). :cool:

The reason it worked OOB is because iBoot includes my RTL81xx ;)

There you go... ;)
 
When you followed Lnx2mac's BIOS setup, did you change any ram settings for your Corsair 1333Mhz ram?
 
is your system running in 64bit?
