    It is one of my oldest mainboard, and this trial is just for fun. Following is the specification of this test :

Mainboard: ASUS p5K

CPU : Intel Core2 Duo 

Graphic Card : Sapphaire 5770 1GB Vapor-X

POWER : Enermax EGP425P-VE

HDD : Seagate ST320LT007-9ZV142

OS : Maverick 10.9 using Unibeast 

    Things-to-do for Maverick Mac OSX 10.9 installation if you're new to Mac OS X:

1. Enable JMicron JMB363 SATA RAID controller at BIOS & set ACHI, then you need to connect your HDD to STA_E2 next to your Graphic Card (Not SATA1/2/3/4) because these SATA1~4 doesn't support for ACHI. Otherwise, your booting HDD stopped at stop symbol.

2. Prepare P5K unique KEXT files for P5K for Maverick here :

You can take all files from your LAN, On-baord Sound card & SATA etc.

* Do not forget to allow to download & install any files at Security / System to install these files.

3. Boot with Unibeast USB of Maverick, and continue the installation as normal. No cliches during installation.

4. 'boot0 gpt error' : When you reboot your installed HDD, do not unplug Unibeast USB yet. Please boot with Unibeast once again. and follow the direction of solution.1 :
