Hi I really want to install OS X Snow Leopard on my system but I do not know if my specs are compatible. I want to use my 500gb ssd for OS X and my 3tb hdd for windows. Windows is already installed on my 3tb HDD. Are there any links you guys can please provide to help me determine whether my build is compatible with OS X or not? My specs will be posted below.

Thank You

Thanks. Helped a lot. Sadly the i7 3820 is more difficult than a lot of other processors to make hackintosh work but it is compatible.


I'm sure there's an easier way of doing it by using Linux instead to make it look and feel like Mac. But I'm unsure of your actual use of the Mac OS.

Linux is great I have used it a lot and it is fairly easy to make it feel like mac but terminal (command line) is a bit different. My use for mac isn't anything major haha. I simply wanted to have some fun with it. I wanted to dual boot from two separate hard drives. My 3tb hdd containing windows 8 and my 500gb ssd containing mac os x snow leopard. Either way I can always run vmware.

Thanks for the help...
