HI GUYS I'm gonna Hackintosh. After using my Macbook again, I've decided that, for me, OS X is the better choice. I'm probably gonna need some help, though. I have iATKOS S3 V2. I have an 8GB flash drive and I have a Macbook. These are what I'm limited to. Oh, and I have my Windows computer. I'd like to dual boot, though, because games and stuff. Aaand here's my build that I'd like to Hackintosh: [img]http://i.imgur.com/Bgevg.png[/img] I know that my AMD could possibly be an issue but I'm willing to try whatever it takes :v: Thanks <3w333
The AMD processor will require you to run a non-vanilla kernel, which can create instability and performance issues. I'll be quite a bit more of a production. FP is not really the place to ask for help with this sort of thang. What do you need help with specifically?

Check out the osx86 forums. They have far more expertise than you'll find here. I'm under the impression that the overwhelming majority of OSX users on this forum actually own Macs.
^This. I got my hackintosh running great. The OSx86 forum does not really talk much about AMD because its too much of a hassle to get up and running. I got my hackintosh with the followin specs: I7 950 Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R 6 Gb G Skill 1333 RAM EVGA Nvidia GT 240 1gb (Not gaming but works for transcoding RED footage) [editline]2nd April 2011[/editline] Here [url]http://www.tonymacx86.com/index.php[/url] [editline]2nd April 2011[/editline] ALSO: Most compatible MOBO For hackintosh (By compatible i mean no issues what so ever):[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128423&cm_re=ud3r-_-13-128-423-_-Product[/url] And as far as video goes there are patches for the 48xx series.
Best to wipe your entire disk clean and start fresh as MBR. I learned the hard way after getting the boot sectors on all my bootable partitions wiped out after an MBR patched install failed.
