I know my motherboard is AMD and MAC's only run on Intel; that is fine. Here is what I have, if someone could tell me what all I need to change to have a hackintosh computer? I only need it to run the XCode software, so audio and HD graphics is not a requirement for me unless I need it for apps.
My motherboard is GA-790XTA-UD4 (AM) but I am willing to upgrade to Intel; preferably one that supports quad core or higher.
My PC case is the APEVIA X-CRUSIER-BL Blue Steel ATX
Processor is AMD Phenom(tm)II x 4 965 Processor, 3400 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logic Processor(s)
My Ram is Patriot Gamer Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
My graphics card is a SAPPHIRE 100283-2L ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series (I hope I can keep this with the right kext files; I don't know how to look these up properly)
I have an HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CH08LS10 ATA Device; also an HP BD Writer bd340i ATA Device
I have a MERC STEALTH keyboard and a Razer Lachesis mouse, I also have a Mac keyboard and Mac mouse if I need it.
My power supple is a CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.2 SLI Certified Crossfire Ready 80
I want to be able to boot to Windows 7 Ultimate which I have the legal DVD's for; and then be able to boot to Mac preferably on separate HD's or SSD's. I want to keep the cost down without having to build a whole new system, hopefully I can just replace the motherboard and processor. Please let me know what yo guys think I should do. I do not want to purchase a Mac if I can help it.
Thanks,
Paul
