I havent been very active in the forum lately, since i started my new job and finished my diy midicontroller.
So i dont know if this has been brought up recently but if you guys want it i could write up a full guide how to make a monster-hackintosh for music production that fits in your Expedit DJ shelf and will cost you about a third of what a high grade macpro does (still running higher specs then the macpro).
My Hackintosh runs super smoothly and so far NO crashes. it took me 1 night to assemble and about 2 days to get it running. (i have never built a computer before)
During my hackintosh adventure i found out tons about what components works in a hackintosh enviroment and if you have any question feel free to ask.
You can even post your PC setup and il tell you what you have to do to make it run OSX. (if poosible with your PC components)
Did you do anything different from Kakewalk or NoFilmSchool?
Have you managed to get performance (geek bench, logic benchmark, etc.) up towards where the 2-year old Mac Pros are, or is it basically competing with iMacs + PCIe slots?
Sorry if I sound confrontational. I’m slightly annoyed at hackintoshes…they seem like fun, but I haven’t seen one with a geek bench better than iMacs.
If you want better scores put a faster CPU in it… must people who build hackintoshes do it to be frugal so are running i5s or often and in my case intel i7 2600ks. I get a similar/slightly better geekbench score than a top end imacs and lower end mac pros and that’s all I built it to get.
There is nothing stopping you from putting a 6 core i7 extreme and 32gb ram in a hackintosh and overclocking it like crazy if you want.
People even run dual xeon hackintoshes and have pretty competitive scores with the dual cpu mac pros although I wouldn’t do it myself.
