NOOB ALERT NOOB ALERT
First of all. Thanks for a great site with this huge knowledge database. I'm hooked and can't leave. I spent 2 days reading about how this works and many tips on how to build a perfect Hackintosh. My wife already starting hating this new project.
I worked with with mac for several years now so I know a litlle about how OSX works. First a G4 and now a G5. I'm producing music with Logic Audio Pro 9 but since A*P*P*L*E stopped the support for this old PPC chip its time to take the next step.
After a big research I found that this system should be a good starting point:
CPU:Intel Core i7 860 / 2.8 GHz Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 (rev. 1.0)
Graphic: Gigabyte GV N98TSL-1GI
RAM: 4 x 2gb OCZ Gold Quad Kit
CPU fan: Scythe Mugen 2 rev.B SCMG-2100
DVD-drive: Pioneer DVR S18LBK
PSU: Corsair Professional Series HX650W
HD: WD Caviar Green WD10EARS
Although I know OSX this is a little confusing. I need to know some basic things before starting.
Normally Mac computers have an TMP chip on the motherboard and a EFI indstead of a BIOS. To have OSX run an ordinary PC we have to fake an TMP chip and the EFI system.
1. Is it why we use iBoot?
2. What does it mean when people take about patching the kernel?
3. Why should we use these kext files?
More questions is coming if I know myself.
Best regards
