    Can't show hidden files

    I've tried Funter, DesktopUtility, and manually entering the Terminal commands. After each, I've rebooted my machine (just in case). I have an old-ish build, based off Yo Mang's guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/showthread.php?t=64346&referrerid=155626 There is no combination of tricks...

    How to tell if I'm pushing my graphics card too far?

    Once upon a time with a Radeon HD 5770, and a Dual-core AMD CPU (I can't remember the model)... I wondered what would happen if I maxed out all the advanced graphic settings for Portal (1). The first 3 minutes was fantastic, then I heard a odd click/bang and that was the end of that. The card...

    Z77X-UP5-TH or P8Z77-V DELUXE

    Is there a reason everyones using 1600mhz ram?

    From what I can see, everyone uses 1600mhz ram. Why is that? Are there limitations with hactintoshes? As always, my expectation is that more money = better product = better performance. But having been on these forums for a while now, I can see that is certainly not always the case. So I'm...

    x79 or z77 board... need pro's and con's before I decide

    So I'm torn between two different boards/cpus. Gigabyte X79-UD5 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006678HJC/?tag=tonymacx86-21) - Buyer's Guide January 2013 or Asus P8Z77-V Premium (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00810TS3G/?tag=tonymacx86-21) I need a powerful machine for video editing... and I...

    Can the GTX 680 support dual monitors/displays?

    I've done a bit of looking around, and can't quite find a definitive answer. I want to get something that will pretty much work reliably out of the box... and I'm thinking of going with the GTX 680... specifically "Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 680"...

    First build, for film making. But is it overkill?

    :wave: So this is my first Hackintosh build. I've been doing research for weeks now on all sorts of compatibility and performance issues. But now I need input from the experienced, to point out any obvious things I'm failing to notice. Main components: + Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-Deluxe +...

    3x1TB 7200rpm or 3x2TB 5400rpm Raid Array?

    Hi there, this is my first post... so be gentle. I'm torn between two Raid0 setups, and wondered if I might be able to get some performance or techie' advice. I haven't made a system yet (it will be very high spec), but I'm thinking of getting one of two raid array options: 3x Samsung F3...
