What's you CPU + Mobo budget?

I just pulled the trigger for a hackintosh build but I also bought:

AMD A6 3650 with a BIOSTAR TA75M which is roughly $165 at Newegg. This is the older Lanlo(?) FM1 processors

Alternatively I was going to pick up a new Trinity-based FM2 socket rig which was a A10-5600K paired with a GA-F2A85X which would have been $260.


NOTE: My bidget was a bit higher - $500 without a new case - so there are probably better options for you based on your needs. Look @ the stickied hardware parts thread for more opinions.

But then I went for a hackintosh because all my computers at home must run OSX or some dumb poo poo and I'm working on getting that issue currently sorted out :downs:

I doubt it. There is a lot of serious banking software running exclusively on power. Of the big four core banking vendors (FIS, FiServ., JHA, D+H), I know that 3 of them definitely run on Power, and the fourth might but I'm not sure. That's a big market, and while there might not be a significant amount of innovation, there is at least a lot of incentive to keep the status quo. It's not a business that you can easily break into, so the biggest shot at dethroning power there would be to convince one of the big four to port their software. Given my experience in the industry, good loving luck because it's filled entirely with assholes who want to keep doing poo poo the way it was done in the 90's.

I used to work in the same building as FIS those people looked miserable every single day, even during the company fun day with amusement "rides" in the parking lot.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here

He should be mildly hopeful this isn't a complete dumpster fire of a product?
