Apple Hackintosh

If windows won't boot, then your hardware is not capable of 4.7Ghz.

 

were you talking to an Apple fanboy brainwashed by Lord jobs?

 

LOL! You going to pass him a cigarette too?

 

So do hackintoshers just modify the boxed copy or do they pirate?

 

So what, are you telling me unix isn't stable?

 

Some of them pirate, since there are many pre-hacked ones out there.

 

+1 my point exactly...

 

^^ Dude, seriously, use multi-quote....

 

I do love Linux also, but the lack of support and apps is a pain in the a**! you can't win!


Also, everyone is saying " it's not a stable overclock." I've run SuperPi on Ubuntu (no, not live cd)
for 48 hours stably.


There's a lot of Microsoft fanboys on bit-tech

 

my bad

 

any OS is only as stable as the hardware underneath. running Super Pi is NOT an indication of stability because it hardly use any RAM and it is single threaded.

do try tweaking your system a bit. BSOD usually mean up memory controller and memory voltage. 223MHz is a ridiculously high bus speed.

there are no microsoft fans on Bit-tech. just logical posters that find issues in this thread to be illogical.

besides, if you've set your mind to it, why not go for it? what are you waiting for? installing hackintosh is incredibly easy, i've done it many times and my netbook is running 10.6.4 with all features working, will be updating to 10.6.5 soon.

 

What are you using the PC for anyway? You'll be severely limited on the gaming end if you go for OSX, and I can't think of any other reason why you would be so stuck on keeping your 4.7ghz OC for any reason other than gaining a few FPS.. Are there even many games for OSX that are particularly demanding on your hardware? Starcraft II, anything else?

 

Have you run Prime95 at all? Try running that for 48 hours and see what happens. I think the results of that will determine if your system is unstable or not and we won't have to argue back and forth with you.

 

ok ive tried to install but I can't get past the chameleon load screen...

There is no Prime95 on Linux, there is an equivalent called MPrime though. I ran that at the same time as SuperPi (which I ran for 48 hours). No crashes. (that's the only time I've ever seen Linux at over 70% CPU load!)

 

try NetbookBootMaker. (google it and follow instructions on how to make your own boot memory stick)

i used it to make my own 8GB memory stick of 10.6.0. and it booted to Apple installer without problem. should be able to boot on desktop also.

 

Do I need a 8GB Stick? I only have 4GB ones

 

you can delete printer drivers and some dictionary to make it fit into 4GB stick. i've done it before with Leopard.

or you can format a portable HDD to do it. but 8GB stick is the easiest way.

Heres a tool to make a bootable USB.
Use FAT32, check Quick Format, and Create DOS startup disk and search for the DOS files in the foler.

And have you tried reformatting windows. You might have courrupted system files.
Honestly millions of people use windows every day. Most people on this forum use windows and don't experience BSODs left and right. You should double check your hardware and software.

 

Ta for the help. And about BSODS, it looks I'm not one of those lucky few does it?

 

You mean your one of the unlucky few. Thats why I recommended reinstalling windows.
