I started this blog to discuss the use of a Hackintosh (that's a 'mac' that wasn't made by Apple) for use in hard core apps. I'm not talkin' porn, though that can be included... I'm talking about serious applications requiring "no fucking around" processing.
For anyone who happened on this page in a search for wondering, can a Hackintosh really work?
Here's the deal.
1. Yes, they work
2. Yes, they work as well or better than a Mac Pro.
3. Yes, they are much cheaper to build.
Done. Anyone who says something else, simply doesn't know, or is lying.
I build and use a hackintosh computer daily for mission critical situations. More importantly, these aren't situations like, "typing a word document or an excel sheet" -- these are seriously intensive situations like, using the entire Final Cut studio suite - flawlessly, using Nuendo, etc.
My computer works so perfectly that I regularly, with clients, use -- Final Cut Pro 7, Apple Color, Compressor, Avid Media Composer 3, Nuendo 4.3
I import from an HD camera regularly. I edit 1080p footage in realtime.
Yes, it all works.
So, why talk about it?
Because I want to find other 'high end' users. Not just hobbyists, or hackers.
I want to share information.
Specifically, I want to know -- is anyone using Nuendo 4.3 (which means a legit copy, not some hacked version) with Leopard (or Snow Leopard) on a hackintosh and having perfect results?
I use this and it works. However, it does not run as smoothly as the XP equivalent. Is this an issue with Nuendo, or could this be an issue with the Hackintosh?
