Hey clever Hackintosh dudes,
I would be really grateful for any advice on how to set up a new build.
For several years now, I have been running my original Hackintosh hardware and OS X.10.6.8
using the following hardware configuration:
MOBO: Gigabit H55M-USB3
Graphics Card: GeForce 8400 GS
RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz (Crucial)
CPU: 3.2 Ghz Intel Core i3
This hackintosh has served me very well and has lasted for several years without too much of a glitch
(apart from the original teething problems for an inexperienced Hackintosh'er learning to set up his first hackintosh).
I am actually fairly happy with the original build, however, time waits for no man, and the other software I use (which I haven't used for some time) no longer support OS X.10.6.8 and ask me to update my OS.
Now, because I haven't kept up on updating my OS, I find myself in bit of a predicament.
Do I update OS X.10.6.8 to the next OS, one step or OS at a time (which I fear will likely be a load of hard work and loads of potential for error, especially my own..doh!)
Or do I, instead, simply buy myself a new HD and install the most up to date *(but free OS) I can get my hands on. Which I think is now 10.10, although I may be wrong.
Please, feel free to give me any constructive advice.
I know that my hardware configuration isn't so great and perhaps a little out of date now, but may still fit my purposes, which is primarily to use the Hackintosh for Logic Pro (which I own a copy of, well at least 9, which I plan to update once the new hackintosh OS is in place and working).
Thanks for reading
