Nope, that's not how versioning works. You can easily go from x.9 to x.10 all the way up to x.99 or x.100 if you're so inclined. The first version number usually - at least according to Semantic Versioning - only changes when there are major API changes, which in Mac OS terms means when they...

All I know is that one of their slogans for it on the website will be "10 out of 10". :p So possibly Yosemite?

As title, basically. In the next 3-4 months, I'm thinking about upgrading my rig. The question I'm posing is whether the upgrade is worth the (not inconsiderable) expense, and whether it is a good idea to do it within the next few months or wait until Intel's Haswell chips are released and get a...

As the name implies, I'm looking into getting an SSD (hopefully an OCZ Vertex 4, if the budget will stretch) to boot my i3 CustoMac from in the near future. Because this is the first time I've purchased an SSD, I'm curious as to what considerations I should take into account when installing and...

I think the trick is to know whether you're prepared to take a risk, save a grand and possibly get better hardware, or play it safe and go with kit that you know will work, which will mean you'll not have to worry about updates or mess around inside the system at all. This forum, and I, can...

Okay, that makes sense. Does that mean I can just apply the Snow Leopard Graphics Update to get my GPU working properly, or do I need to apply custom kexts/GraphicsEnabler=Yes?

Thank you for the advice - I've been looking around, and here's my new idea: Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Emphasis was on price here - it was the cheapest mobo I could find! Intel Core i3 540 3.06GHz Core i3, cheaper than the Core 2 Duo and actually faster. The GPU will stay the same, and I'll be...

So, I've been trying to get OS X working on my rig since Tiger was around, and I've decided that it's finally time to upgrade to some compatible hardware for my 18th birthday. Ideally, I would like to be as close to vanilla as possible, but I don't mind using custom kexts if needs be. I would...
