nI am contemplating the AMD Hackintosh build i have been doing some research and found that the problems where specific to the kernels being used. Evidently there is a new Kernel the "Modbin" Kernel.

nI would be really excited if i had some more assurance that this could be pulled off with out too much trouble though it looks like many of you are running into problems.. I am a 20 year Apple user but have recently discovered Linux which looks like a very viable alternative. I know I will probably be using Windows 7 "just because" To get my system up and running and stable.I used to feel like a fringe user but now the tides are turning fast.. Apple is becoming mainstream. I suspect though its only speculation that Jobs may be contemplating making availble to the masses distrubutions of OSX that will comply with what ever system you decide to build. The reason i say this is because Linux is upping its game as the Droid OS ( I have a Droid Captivate TYVM) is stellar in speed, gui, and every other application you can think of. Having said al that hats off to al you Die hard hackers and thank you for reading my post.

nI haven't picked out a GPU yet Im still trying to decide what will work best with this set up. I believe the Board supports Crossfire but i want to start off slow with a conservative GPU that will give me some fun but wont break the bank.
