Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Hi Maldon,

I'm rebuilding Mohave system. Installed Monterey already. Runme attached. System boots fine. Video is showing 5mb and not rendering correctly. I have ethernet but not WiFi. Still need to check audio.

Also need to set this up with Windows 10 bootable from the Opencore OS selection. I still need to install Windows 10 on that drive first (currently has Windows 8... Yuk). Let me know what else you need.

System:
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K 3.4ghz
Ram: 16Gb
Graphics: EVGA GeFOrce GT630
WiFi Card: TPLink N900

2 expansion cards:
Gigabyte-Titan RIdge 2.0 (Thunderbolt 3 card)
4 port Firewire expansion card.

Send me Corys-iMac.zip
