Hi everyone!
I'm actually a Macbook Pro user, but i would like to try another way.
I have no idea how is the way of hackintosh world, but i tried just once and i got success with my friend's hardware (just o.s. installation).

So i'll be grateful to anyone who advices me about the hardware i need to get the perfect hackintosh to make music.
I need to use Logic Pro with my M-Audio Fasttrack USB (i'm a guitar player).

The following is the configuration that i thought:

Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4
Intel i5 760 Quad Core 2.8 Ghz
4x2GB Corsair XMS 3 1333 Mhz (Cas Latency 7)
Gigabyte Nvidia 460 1GB (GV-N460OC-1GI)
WD Caviar Black 64mb 1TB
Corsair Silent 600w
Cabinet Cooler Master Centurion

Do you think is this a good configuration to install OSX 10.6.5 just using iboot and multibeast?
Thanks a lot in advance.

:)

I bought this card last month.
It's been painless to install and now, performs without a single glitch. :headbang:

May i ask you some advices eventually?
I hope i'll be able to install it painless just like you!
Thanks in advance.

If it's just for making music I would ditch the 460 and grab a cheap 9500gt and switch the case for a Cooler Master Sileo. It's sound dampened inside. Take the money you saved and grab an i7 870.
