I already knew that the Dell GX620 machine could work with the Hackintosh but ti was not perfect last time. I swapped the 250 GIG SATA Drive out for the Original 80GIG SATA Drive and popped in the DVD+RW I had written of the Leo4All V3 and started to build. Now I had picked what i thought might work and off it went, it rebooted and I was half expecting it to fail “Waiting for Root device” but nope – up come the Mac Animation and I filled in all the boxes.
I noticed I had no sound, so my first task was to google to find the right thing to install, soon found the right file and with a reboot – the sound finally came out. The network worked but shares were a problem across to a real Mac – this I would solve later. The Screen was set as 1024×768, not really workable and I knew that with the Graphics Update on 10.5.2 – this brok the GMA 950 fitted inside the dell. As the machine is Micro – there is no way to install another card – so once more went off to find a fix and surely enough I found a file – ran it and rebooted. Now my Resolution was at 1280×1024 – much better to work with. I searched later and found the problem with the sharing – one file fix (to put a /system instead of just system) and turned on SMB and I could at least connect via SMB now. All the apps I have installed worked just fine.
I am left with getting iLife now – this is a big file and might take a while to basically complete my transition from a Windows machine to a fully working iMac clone. My Advice is it can be done but I would do your research, find as much info as you can before you even download one – such as Motherboard model, graphics card type and all the other variable.
