Should I Make A Hackintosh?

why wouldn't it be legal?

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

there's no 'legal' way of doing hackintosh since apple doesn't want you to do it anyway

but apple got no concerns on hackintosh as far as i know, so you're good to go

Do your research first, and make sure the parts youre obtaining are Hackintosh compatible.

The EULA forbids Hackintoshes, however the EULA is not the law. If Apple so desired however, they could sue you in a civil lawsuit. 

 

Personally I wanted to do a Hackintosh but said screw it because I don't want to have something that could be the grounds of a lawsuit (even though unlikely).

FCPX seems to have a better default workflow over Premiere Pro but Pr has better support.

Motion 5 again better workflow but After Effects has better support.

i would do it if you have the chance for it. it'll be hella cool. i would do it since i have a friend that has apple everything

 

me: just built a computer

 

friend: probably peasant windows

 

me: bam.

 

 

ALSO if you plan on doing it, i would rather ask http://www.tonymacx86.com/ because its a forum based on hackintosh and they would help you more than us. even linus used that site
