Mac OS X For U

Using a motherboard with an Intel 915 chipset and a P4/Celeron D Processor, you can get OSX up and running natively. It’s FAST and is 100% compatible(sound, accelerated graphics, and networking). It also runs PowerPC Applications. This hardware can be obtained for around $100. This is a list for OSX x86 hardware compatibility.

Info is scattered all over so I compiled a list of working components that work in native mode (no Pear, or VMware).

If you have more, add it, IF it works completely. Please ONLY add the components and no questions, failures, etc.

We need a clear list of working components.

Fully working hardware list.

*SSE2 processors are not listed due to limited operation (certain apps will not work).

AMD will be added later. Basically, it takes an expensive board and processor.

The cheap setup is Celeron D with a budget board, together, they can be had for about $110. The cheapest board does not show up in the search (as well as a few others, not sure why, I need to look into it). This BIOSTAR U8668 D, and the cheapest Celeron D processor you can find is the cheapest.
See this thread (thanks Macgirl).
