I just picked up a 4430s w/ i5 and ssd from ebay with mavericks preinstalled and i would like to know what what i should watch out for if anything. i'm also curious as to what secondary hdds and ssds size and brand are working best for these probooks.

You should probably re-install from scratch to be sure it was done correctly.

Any will work.
 
just another couple of questions,

should the hdmi audio work?

Should the via work?

is there anyway i would be able to find out which method was used to make this hackintosh?

i meant vga, my apologies.

VGA works on HD3000 with the patch to AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext. The patch is automatically applied by the ProBook Installer.

ahhhh, okay gotcha. thanks

i just looked and i have the hd3000.
it's looking like i should install the os myself from scratch. which method would you suggest?

Yes, all supported 4x30s have the HD3000.

Use either guide -- it is personal preference. I would recommend a Clover-based install, although some report intermittent issues with wake up from sleep using Clover on 6-series ProBook (as is yours). Personally, I have not run into those issues.

If you want well tested, use the original (non-Clover) guide. Be aware that updates, although easily handled, are not as seamless as an install using Clover.

If you want to be on the bleeding edge, then give Clover a try...
 
well somehow or another i've managed to make the display of this laptop into 4 sections, with the 2 on th bottom being discolored. any idea on what may have been modified? side note, i migrated it to clover prior to reboot before this happened.

You probably installed the incorrect config.plist and/or selected the wrong options for DSDT patching in the ProBook Installer.
