RE: My Mackbook Pro bricked so I built a more powerful Hackintosh Mac Mini and saved around $500!
A few years' back I installed OS X on two non-apple computers. One was a Compaq notebook which I specifically bought for it's OS X compatibility, the other a custom built PC. Both worked fine, but had a few quirks I had to get used to, like no sound, or wifi issues, and one of them was bricked by an update. After a while I went the (slower) emulation route and forgot about my hackintosh projects.
Your post is making me think of getting another try. Got any tips on the software side of things? How did you manage it to recognize the 32 gigs of ram? Cheers, mate!
Glad I can inspire! I mainly went by the guides on tonymacx86.com, it goes into detail about what BIOS settings to change before installing the OS, and doing post installation with unibeast and multibeast to get everything working. As for getting it to recognize the 32GB of RAM, my friend helped me out there. We messed up the post installation the first time so we re-installed the OS and followed the exact instructions for our motherboard, I believe that solved the RAM issue, but my friend did a work-around by manually editing some files.
