Thread: First time Hackintosher - will this config work?
Started 3 weeks, 3 days ago by Christian Pursell
I am a long time Mac (and PC) user and am wanting to get a new PC tower for gaming, but also want to run OSX on it. This will be my first hackintosh, and I believe the first step is compatible hardware!

Would the EVGA X58 3X SLI LE Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX Mainboard Triple-Channel DDR3/1600 SATA RAID w/ GbLAN,USB2.0,Dual IEEE1394&7.1Audio Be a better motherboard choice? Or this one? Asus P6T SE Intel X58 I'm sure they're all great motherboards, I just want the one that will work on OSX the easiest.
