Atom support hacked back into OS X 10.6.2

We’re not surprised by this but we sure are glad to see it out so soon!
All you netbook owners, current or prospective, may exhale your sigh of relief.
The support for Atom is acquired by actually injecting a different kernel into OS X itself, so, your talking a pretty serious hack. Rest assured, most hacks can be fine tuned to make it much easier and or automated.
We can thank the hacker teateam for this gem. He can be found on the InsanelyMac Forums
So here’s to hoping Apple leaves the door open to Atom users in 10.6.3 and showing us how great of a company they really can be.
The Hackingtosh G4. -Part 1
This is a documentation of my project to mod a Powermac G4 into a hackintosh.
Very little effort went into the research of compatibility. I was shopping on a budget and I knew if they didn’t fit I could just get a cheap pc case.
So, $470 dollars later my tigerdirect shopping cart is full of mostly everything I need.
- Thermaltake Pure-Power 430-Watt power supply. – $39.99
- 250GB SATA 3.5″ HDD from Seagate. – $49.99
- 4 Gig of OCZ SLI-Ready PC6400 800MHz DDR2 RAM – $19.99
- Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 wolfdale @2..8GHz and a 1600MHz FSB – $119.99
- LG 22xDVD-R and 16x DL-DVD Burner – $29.99
- Gigabyte EP43-UD3l Motherboard.w/ 1600MHz FSB. – $84.99
- XFX Ultra-Silent GeForce 9400GTw/ 512MB DDR2 RAM – $49.99
- I also got a NetGear WiFi Card and a Wireless Logitech Keyboard/Mouse set- $19.96/$34.99
As of now I have been able to install the new Hard Drive, DVD Burner, and Power Supply into the G4.
