Hackintosh 2.0
After spilling water through the fan vents of my desktop on my current hackintosh, I had to make a new one. All that needed replacing was the motherboard. I wanted to pick a board that had been put through it’s paces in the OSx86 (hackintosh) community. There was an amazing guide for the first board I picked, but it wasn’t being sold on Newegg.com anymore, so I decided on the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P.
You can find more information about my setup on my hackintosh v2 wiki page. If you want to see every step I went through to get this system working, check out that page.
What To Expect
This guide will let you install OS X Leopard 10.5.6 from the retail disk (straight from Apple!). You’ll have a system with full functionality and minimal hacking.
I have not tested this setup extensively since I got it working, so I make no guaranty about it’s stability. The way I went about it isn’t the cleanest, but it works. I’m hoping weaksauce12 will release a Universal OSx86 Installer plug-in for this board in the near future. Keep an eye out on my blog for another post involving that installation.
