Has any of you guys tried building a Hackintosh yet?

For those of you that are unaware, it is possible to run Mac OSx software on PC Hardware now.

Im doing it as a little project over the next few days. Cant wait to have Logic 8 without having to pay silly money for real mac hardware.

I do agree somewhat.

However Intel mac's are PC's. Apple actualy realised there was more power to be had from intel.


Now I havent used logic yet, and if i love it enough, I will probably go get a real mac, (If my Hack isnt stable)

have you checked out the OSX86 project?

I reckon you should be alright with it. and yes Logic 8 rocks hard.

im using mac os x tiguer 10.4.11 on my old pc for months...

my old pc specs:

P4 3200mhz

motherboard asrock

grafic card Nvidia Gforce 7600GT

2x 160GB ( 1 sata + 1 ide )

soundcard onboard (AC97)

everithing runs fine and i use logic pro 8.1 + reason 4.01 + reaktor 5

but for professional audio use i recomend a firewire sound card , becouse i get overload and midi/audio out of sync sometimes in logic , other softwares run fine but logic its more heavy for the soundcard

i prefer to use hackintosh in my old machine than XP , xp is more heavy

hackintosh runs smooth and very fast (even the net is faster)
