Fresh to my Hackintosh

Post by Juniorman030790 »

So, I just installed OSX 10.5 on a Gateway GT5026E. It's pretty cool. I've gotten 98% of it working. There is only a minor glitch with the graphics drivers which, in certain programs, makes the mouse cursor leave a frozen clone for a second or two. It's not significant at all though.

I'm so happy.

I never really gave mac a shot until now.

I was bored the other day and decided to see how well i could do a hackintosh. :D

Anyone else got a hackintosh or real mac?

We got a mac for the family for Christmas, and we put parallels on it and can run XP. Actually, it was the trial of parallels, which means it's expired by now. Whoops.

I have a MacBook Pro.

I tried to get the hacked version of 10.4 to work on 3 of my computers and it didn't work properly on any of them.

I was going to try that on my PC, but I just said screw it, since I already have a G5 tower that works just fine :/

I've tried it recently...It "just works" in the sense that my wireless card is incompatable :( So I removed it. I'm not replacing the wireless car in my laptop so I can use the internet soz.

edit: glad to know yours is good though

Dualbooting XP 32-bit/ Vista Ultimate 64-bit...

I love everything about Vista 64-bit...but the installation really required some experience. Who would have known that the Network Controller is actually the Network Adapter itself? :roll:
...left for good
