Sapphire HD7870 2GDDR5

For Wifi Netgear WNA1000M (This work under MAC OSX with another driver)

This in't my firt MAC on normal hardware, i make more of five installation, so i know that my graphics card isn't currently compatible and i would like underst if possible make it.

Today, i'm downloading MOUNTAIN LION of APPLE STORE, from this i like understand which follow tutorials for making a ML 10.8 USB BOOT.
I've burned cd of iBoot and from this point I cannot bring up the screen ML, i'm make USB under DISK UTILITY OF MAC and USB don't start :(

Can you help me understand why not start it?
 
You should use UniBeast+MultiBeast method. You can find the guide here.

Next steps, before even attempting to install is first, go to http://biosrepo.wordpress.com/asrock/z77/ and download the BIOS for your board and flash it so you can get native OS X power management without KP, then second, remove the HD7870 and install on iGPU HD4000. At this time there is no support for the HD7870 gfx card in OS X. Rumor has it there is some support for HD7xxx in 10.8.3.
 
Hi guys, in this moment i'm writing from my Mountain Lion on Fatal1ty Z77 Professional, my bios vercion is 1.30 and i'm afraid flash it with new bios :( in this desktop i've windows 7 and i can't clean the hard drive because i working with him...

Whit new bios, Can i run windows 7 and Mac ???
what is the difference between the two bios?

Another question, for run my new mac, i've to start before windows 7, reboot it with Unibest connected, select unibeast as boot and select my new Mountain Lion for start it, if i don't follow these step to step, my mac don't run :(

The new bios probably solved this problem ?

i will try soon install new driver with Multibeast, i see there are more drivers with DSDT and whitout DSDT, what is the different ?
 
1st image is boot screen of MAC if to the first run i select Hard Drive with MAC...
2st image desktop's component and assembly

You know that Apple does not support AMD/ATI 6900 and 7000 series graphics cards at all, yet.
 
Good morning, this solution don't work for my case :(
