    Hackintosh 10.5.5 Retail Rig - Starting at $305

    I'm still waiting at 10.5.6, new guides look awesome Kaido ! Do i have to know do the full reinstall to get to .7 ? I think I tried installing .7 5 or 6 times before from complete reinstall to combo upgrade and each time my computer was left bricked. Granted this was on the old kit with the...

    Hackintosh 10.5.5 Retail Rig - Starting at $305

    Damn, tried it, still the same crash on boot. This is weird because all I have done is installed the 10.5.7 combo update, and it won't reboot, but ever since trying to get .7 working it has been behaving very very badly. I've even erased the disk. There should be no partitions other than...

    So what's the current process for a fresh install on the UD3P, I've used the current package linked to from page one of this thread. but everytime i get a kernel panic after install ? I did notice the new kexts a couple pages back ? Should I use the kit from the front page of this thread...

    Noooo. It broke my install, stuck at grey apple boot screen, then to what I think is a kernel panic. Black block request hard restart. Could it possibly be that damn video card.

    Hackintosh 10.5.5 Retail Rig - Starting at $305

    Mostly it's a Plex box, But I need it to play 3 or 4 games under os x. I understand the basic idea that most graphics cards are overkill if your not a gamer, 3d designer etc.... what i'm trying to discern is, does the new video card installed as a 9800 GFX rather than a GT perform like it...

    Well, ideally, performance. If the performance from this card is the same as my old 7300 gt then obviously this whole graphics card pursuit is pretty frivolous.

    So I installed the XFX 9800 GT, I used UIinstaller for the 9800 GFX card. What impact will this have on the actual card performance ? QE says supported. CI says Hardware accelerated. So both those look good, just wonder about performance. But for anyone wondering it does work. I used...

    Hackintosh 10.5.5 Retail Rig - Starting at $305

    Zaap, is it really that easy, I DL'd EFI studio, do I just run the installer for any of the listed cards ? I was thinking of buying an XFX 8800gt but i've read so many different things from works perfect, to mouse stutter, etc.... Do all the listed cards have QE/CI enabled as well ?

    Have you ever considered working on the UD5 Kaido ? I'd be happy to donate towards this cause ! when you say 10.5.7 will have native support, does that mean the Gigabyte X58-UD5 should work with a similar method to yours ? I'm always following this thread at insanely but it's pretty cryptic...

    Will the OEM 8800 GT from the Mac Pro be ok on the UD3P board ? You'd think this is a no brainer right ? I'm looking at this one in particular

    Have any of you installed windows (un-virtualized) ? I was thinking i should use bootcamp, and then I realized installing a os x on a system that isn't made to accept it and then using it to install windows which the system is made for must be the most convoluted way to install on OS. Is...

    So the drive reads the data in OS X ? Blue ray rips are possible I guess ?

    Hackintosh 10.5.5 Retail Rig - Starting at $305

    So in general as OS X is updated and moves towards Snow Leopard do you think we will see more compatibility or less for Hackintosh ? It seems ease of install and compatibility have gotten much better over the last year or so, but it looks like that's mainly the work of the developers etc....

    It worked ! used your older kit Kaido, couldn't wait. You made this so easy, Mr. Jobs would be very angry if he got hold of you. If you need money for protection let me know. Thanks again for making this so easy, super fun experience !

    They let me exchange it for the UD3P, Am I going to be ok to use the "old" UD3P guide posted mid March ? Hope so can't wait !

    Wow. That bridges the gap. The disconnect for me was I didn't realize that the boot CD was essentially cold starting the system. The boot disc essentially jump starts the system. Once jump started a permanent solution to starting is implemented with Chameleon ! I'm going to go the P35...

    Hackintosh 10.5.5 Retail Rig - Starting at $305

    Thanks ! I think it's starting to click. So riddle me this, do i use the your method with the P35-DS3L which seems in many ways to be the most straightforward method on the interwebs. Or should I use the X58-UD5 which I know is compatible, but has a very wonky guide on insanely mac that...

    A favor, Can one of you guys with a deep understanding of the underlying processes of hackintosh explain the process in lamens terms. I've read so many guides now, and alot of them speak in computer tongues making it difficult to conceptually understand exactly what is happening in a...

    So the Zotac 7300 GT has Wiki approval, and should play 1080P, it "should" work correct ? Video Card I'm surprised that TV output isn't good, When i connect my iMac to my tv it's recognized as a compatible display, and theres no overscan/underscan issues ? I guess this isn't the case with...

    Does anyone have any suggestions on a graphics card to use for my HTPC, im using the P35-DS3L board and looking over Kaido's approved cards but it seems like alot of them are now difficult to get ahold of. The HTPC will be connected directly to my tv through HDMI/DVI, I would like a card that...
