thinking of dualbooting, hackintosh?

[Kyuubixchidori]

hi everyone! I have a win 7 64 bit machine and want to get into video and photography. my friend has a Macbook pro, he uses the mac side for prof. work and win 8 for gaming. he pledges by the mac software being better to the point he dualboots.

 

anyway, i have a Ga-z77-ds3h mobo, a i5-3570K, 8 gigs of corsair xms3 ram, a asus 2gb HD7770, and 1 tb green drive WD. 

 

any help or pointers or right direction would be great!

Get your friend's Macbook Pro

Download OS X Mavericks update, but do NOT install it

Create account at TonyMacX86 and download Unibeast

Make USB flash drive (requires 8GB+) using Unibeast

Boot off it on your PC

Install

Download Multibeast

Install proper drivers

Download and install bootloader

 

And this is it in a nutshell. There are plenty of people around the TonyMacx86 forums that would be happy to help, and some of us here as well. I think Nicholas Marzio would be fine with helping.

The only bigger problem you could face, is wifi. I would not rely on wifi if you are using a hackintosh

I use wifi. is it that it flat out doesn't work? i have 3 different wifi adapters so if its just drivers are lacking, im sure one of them will work

So USB ones should work fine, just PCIe is a real mess.
