Hi guys,
I know dual booting OSX is easy for some laptops, since people have done it before, and there is advice out there on how to do it, but has anyone put OSX on a PCS machine? The Optimus II specifically? It all depends on the components right? I'd love to have a fiddle with this, but just wouldn't know where to start... i've heard it can take months to get an hackintosh working properly on an "uncommon" machine, like, from scratch?
Here is my spec:
What do you guys think? What will OSX support, and what would I have issues with?
Just an idea at the moment... I didn't buy it to dual boot OSX at all, otherwise I would have done much much much more research into the components I picked, from an OSX point of view!
Should finally arrive tomorrow! wooooo!
Matt
