Hackintosh

Well, if you would just use the motherboard from the mac, then you wouldn't have to worry about all the problems you'd go through when you install Hackintosh like hardware incompatibilities.

You won't have hardware incompatibilities if you use compatible parts.

My understanding is that the hardware incompatibilities all come from the... hardware. That sentence sounded way better in my head btw.

In any case, using the right mobo would just let you install a totally unmodified OS X I imagine.

But the point it kinda moot, since to get one of those mobo's you need to, guess what, buy a mac :)

if you have a Mac motherboard then you essentially HAVE A MAC.

Wow. Am I the only one who saw the stupidity in that?

lmao, no.

LOL.

I just turned it on yesterday. I've gotten so used to Vista, messing around with Leopard almost seems like a waste of time.

I might keep it on there, but dual boot with Windows Server.

Server '08 is crap, IMO. stick with '03.

I've heard good stuff about 08, but never looked at it myself.

You can have perfect hardware compatibility without a genuine Mac. A kext that prevents you from installing has nothing to do with compatibility, and there are thousands of compatible parts that aren't being used in current Apple systems as well as custom drivers and fixes for certain hardware combinations.

Yeah, that was what I was saying... just really badly :D
