A 'Hackintosh' is a computer that runs Apple's OS X operating system on non-Apple hardware. This has been possible since Apple's switch from IBM's PowerPC processors to Intel processors a few years ago. Until recently, building a PC-based Mac was something done only by hard-core hackers and technophiles, but in the last few months, building a Hackintosh PC has become much easier. Benchmark Reviews looks at what it's possible to do with PC hardware and the Mac Snow Leopard OS today, and the pros and cons of building a Hackintosh computer system over purchasing a supported Apple Mac Pro.
tbh I prefer windows, but OSX is a good OS too
ReplyDeleteGod damn apple i hate them
ReplyDeleteGreat Link. :D
ReplyDeleteI am totally into this idea. I have always avoided mac because I had no power like this.
ReplyDeleteawesome info here... good job!
ReplyDeletewhy would you ever want to ruin a pc with mac software?
ReplyDeletetried this before. not really click with me. still using ubuntu and win7.
ReplyDeleteBut why??
ReplyDeletewhy would you do that? Why ruin a PC?
ReplyDeletegreat post!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't really do that to my pc :I
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who has done this, he loves it
ReplyDeleteHaha, Why??!!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a project that I will never ever do. Although it might have similar consequences to getting chocolate in my peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with Windows thanks!
ReplyDelete@hungrr
ReplyDeleteYou'd want to do it so you could have Mac OS and not get ripped off on the hareware. Apple overcharges customers baaaaaddddddd...
I think im just going to stick with my mac and not try and turn my pc into one lol
ReplyDeleteGreat read! Looking forward to reading your next post.
ReplyDeleteAlready have a PC and a mac in the house. I still feel more comfortable with windows than mac. My GF feels the opposite. Jack Sprat syndrome I guess.
ReplyDeletei tried this once.
ReplyDeleteNEVER AGAIN.
my hardware was so unfitting for leopard, there were like no hacks around, and the ones that were around were like
TOTALLY OLD
or not working
:F
it's easier to just by a mac, but that depends on the hardware you already own.
nice infos, keep it up :D
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, will pas this through to my dad because he wants Mac stuff but their OS is shit (Microsoft is as well but whatever) so he can then put Microsoft on his Mac...
ReplyDeleteNice post Jill, keep it coming <3
ReplyDeleteAlright, but why would you want to do that?
ReplyDeleteI would just still with PC! MACs are not really my thing lol
ReplyDeletenice info. keep it up
ReplyDeleteBeing that Apple OS is a variant on FreeBSD, wouldn't it make more sense to just FreeBSD or use some other *nix?
ReplyDeleteI like OSX but am more comfortable with Win 7
ReplyDeletelol Hackintosh
ReplyDeleteIs there any purpose for using Mac on PC?
ReplyDeleteAt this rate,why would you even want a hackintosh? just buy a damn mac.
ReplyDeleteI like windows!
ReplyDeleteI'm too used to my PC. Granted, it's Windows Vista, which is nearly universally agreed to be a shitty OS, but I've made it work for me, and hence the love. It's not about what it is, but whether it works for you.
ReplyDeleteI like my mac running on a mac os. screw pc's :P
ReplyDeleteThat's cool! I use vmware and run os x on my pc. Would like to multiboot instead though.
ReplyDeleteApple sucks balls. Sorry, just the truth. :P LINUX ALL THE WAYYYY!!! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat read because the only terrible thing about the Mac is with it's inability to upgrade. Finally someone spreads the best of both worlds
