Hello everyone...i currently decide to download and install some mac osx operation system.
My uncle is buying new imac 27" and i decided to try this OS since i will be given his old 27" imac (late 2010 i think)

So a few info i need.
os X maveriks 10.9 are the last one?
i should use Niresh for windows ?
unibeast only works on mac only?

My pc checked and it is compatible with mac os software.

My pc in a few words consist of
i7 3770k
gigabyte z77x-ud3h
g.skil tridentX 16gb 2133mhz
2x asus r9 280x dc2top in crossfire
corsair axi series 860 watt 80 plus platinum
sandisk extreme pro 240gb for games only and 1tb hhd for downloads and stuffs.

last question:i use samsung 850 pro 120gb for my windows 7 OS and programs only.
will a partion of 60gb on this ssd will work fine for the mac OS? i have 65gb free.

Does on dual boot pc,every OS get full hardware potentioal of each OS i boot?
does my cpu OC work fine on MAC OS? i will disable it to default settings when installing to prevent hardware failure but after can i turn it on?

Tnx every one and sorry for the wall text!

Nick.

Installing OSX on a PC is not as simple as this. Very very specific hardware is required to make this kind of thing work, down to things as specific as the RAM timing as well as operating frequency.

It's not called a Hackintosh just because it sounds cool to call it that, there is good reason for it. Try out Mac OS when you get the actual Mac, you're only going to cause problems if you try installing OSX on a PC without doing lots of proper research. And I really do mean LOTS of research.

It isn't that bad, just a little research and prep work. A good chunk of the Intel boards do since that is the same platform Apple uses.

Your overclock has nothing to do with the OS, so yes you can do that. Yes an OS will run the full potential of the hardware as long as all the drivers work.

can you help me with this research? i have plenty of time and will, patience to read carefully and i could accept a failure. I dont fear the hassle but fact i didnt even tried. Bios are easy for me. I can disable my ram XMP and make it run 1333mhz on any timing if that makes my Mac os stable. I can go on w/o oc as well. But i cant just leave it.

Tnx for your reply. :)

P.S Hackintosh doesnt sound cool at all to me.
