And for the general user, most of the time if something hangs on my mac, the rest of my system is fine. Gotten away with a crashed up far more times than on windows.

annirowe said: YOUR DESTROYING THE THREAD!!!! Why not make a Hackintosh and Quad Boot! Cmon Cham im sure you could pull it off!!! I mean your knowledge of systems should be far superior of anyones around after taking 12 months to buy your system!!!!
annirowe said: What you getting? Hackintosh?
annirowe said: Have you tried a Hackintosh before? What hardware you running? Make sure you wear a hat to prevent you from pulling your hair ut. I tried getting it to work on my PC at home... No good. Spent hours and tried everything. Then I took it to work and tried it here on a laptop. With a bit of trial and eror I had it working. Here is a good link: lifehacker.com/ But most of the help is gonna come from here: wiki.osx86project.org/ or here: forum.insanelymac.com/ Good luck.. you may well need it.. And for all people wanting to try this.... Please dont base this experience as a judgement of Mac. What you are doing wasnt meant to be done, so you WILL have problems and things wont run quite as they are meant to be... But for a lot of things it does actually run spot on!
Rus_A7 said: annirowe said: Have you tried a Hackintosh before? ! Well, i've looked at the drivers that come with it, and they're fairly close to my system. Sound, video is the same. Mobo is similar. I'll check out those links you gave me.
