Thanks, Frank. Much appreciated. I'm on Newegg right now placing my order for my Hackintosh build. I hope I'm getting the right stuff. I'll find out soon enough! I'm kinda spoiled because this will replace an older PowerMac that works perfectly well but it's just slow and obviously not Intel. I will let you know how it goes!

Thanks again,
Scott

Craig Stowers Hey thanks for all this great information. Just a few more details needed on the install method:

When you say 'Apple Updates' do you mean the 10.5.4 stand-alone update? or everything other than the system updates?

When you applied the 10.5.3 combo update, did you choose a specific kernel? vanilla maybe?

thanks!

Hey Frank, Nice blog. I'm considering getting the same MB as you GA-EP45-DS3R and was wondering it sound in/out is working for you via the Line In/Out ports? Any static or crackles? Please let me know. Any other pearls of wisdom on building a Hackintosh would be appreciated. THanks!

Frank Sandoval Hi Scott, thanks for the comment. The standard headphone line-out (green) works perfectly, but I'm not sure about the line-in since I use a USB headset. I'm also unsure about the coax and optical connectors. Sound works great overall. Initially I heard a lot of 'crispyness' (not crackling), but after fiddling around with which drivers I was using, I was able to get rid of it. It also helped to adjust my iTunes equalization. Overall I'm very happy with this board.

Feel free to ask anymore questions, I'm glad to help. You can also get in touch with me via AIM if needed: Ebel3003.
