DrNomis_44's Hackintosh Build

[DrNomis_44]

Wow... just wow....
Having just read through this thread I have an urge to go and have a nanna nap...
You computer geeks are hard work to follow 😶😶

I look forward to the Luddite version of whats going on here 😊

Don't worry, you're not alone mate.

Almost. They are technically kernel extensions but work same as drivers. The closer to the native Mac hardware you can get the easier it is to get all the drivers up and running without any extra coding required. Saying that the hackingtosh community has made great progress over past few years in the compatability realm

I've lost track of this over the past few years as moved to Linux and my wife ended up buying a MacBook pro after using the hackingtosh

DB, it's no good hiding pretending you don't know what we are talking about. After all you have enough technology in LEDs to light up your whole area at night lol. Captain Luthier Pic-guard Of the starship bassman

Kimball, I have a nervous breakdown just trying to start a pc, let alone actually doing anything beyond googling stuff and getting on the forum 😜

Oh, that's alright mate, I forgive you.

Great stuff Kels look forward to hearing your handy work. Doc you'll need 8gb to 10gb of space for just the El Capitan install so should be ok with small drive. But be aware you'll then have large installs for your musc and Daw software plus whatever other software you need. When you can get yourself A Western Digital 1tb Black Caviar 7200 rpm drive for the operating system. Then a separate drive to write your audio to. It just makes life easier. Plus you can split the operating system drive as Kel suggests and load El Capitan and Win 10 on a dual boot. Which you can then select on boot up. Which Is what I sometimes use for Microsoft office etc when needed.

I might see if I can buy a couple of 1Tb Sata drives soon, they should be coming down in price as SSDs become more commonplace, or maybe a couple of 500Gb Sata drives.
