If you would put your intelegence (sp) into something that could actually benefit humankind in a shareworthy manor you might impress someone to the point of actually being willing to pay you money for your talent. Get with the program you deadbeat. And I’m not talking about anyone elses program….invent your own if your 1% of the smart M..F that you think you are. Do something instead of being a rip off artist. Oh ya I forgot., I’m not talking to a poet, forget it your a useless F.

I’d give you a PR10 for sure LOL – nice work here.
Very Nice

It’s slightly less illegal to use an EFI USB Dongle rather than the patched OS.

Thanks! Works perfectly.

Take a look at this:

Sorry to tell you but I’ve seen plenty of hardwareproblems with Macs. Faulty powersupplies fo iMacs, leaking coolant in older G5 Power Macs and so on. If you have a look at some Mac user forums, there is a plethora of problems with Apple’s hardware.

I’m not saying that Apple hardware is crap, on the contrary but saying Macs don’t break is bulldust. Macs don’t break as often as other computers, but considering the price, that’s the least one can expect. Quite frankly, Apple hardware isn’t as good as the price tag would suggest. If you haven’t had any problems so far, good for you. Be happy about it. But don’t expect it to be true for everybody else.

Also, don’t forget that the article was written quite a while ago, where iMacs and Mac Pros were alsoless “grunty” as they are today.

When I built my Hackintosh over a year ago, there was no DDR3 RAM in the Pros but the hellish expensive FB DDR2 ECC server RAM. Also, the older single CPU quad core Xeons in the last generation Pros were much more comparable to a C2Q than the newer Nehalems are. True, my slightly dated Q6600 isn’t the fastest chip out there anymore but it stillis a very powerful processor and in combination with the by now 8GB RAM inthe box, myHack doesn’t have to hide behind a comparable Mac Pro in terms of performance.

While the 32GB maximum of a real Mac Pro is pretty impressive, the 16GB limit of my board isn’t that bad either and in reality, machines with more than 8GB are rather rare and besides some special cases are a bit of an overkill. With the 8GB in my machine, I can run VMs with 3GB and still have plenty of RAM for anything I’m doing with the machine, so there is no need to slap more RAM into the box. If you don’t intend to run VMs or only VMs with smaller amounts of RAM, 4GB really is sufficient and in most cases already too much.

As for the performance, benchmarks are not everything. It is the everyday performance that counts and I guarantee you, that the difference between a quad core C2Q and a dual quad core Nehalem is felt way less than benchmarks indicate. Of course if you require the grunt, you’ll be able to tell but really, who actually needs the immense performance of 8 processor cores and 32GB of RAM? Most home users certainly don’t and professionals requiring such power will get a real Mac Pro anyway.

I’ve enjoyed my Hack for over a year now and I don’t doubt that I will keep enjoying it for quite a while longer.
