    Dell Inspiron 15 (i5559-4013SLV) experiences so far

    ((Note: Sig line has system components of this laptop, i7-6500U (Skylake), integrated HD 520 graphics)) Thought I would post this thread in case anyone has the same model, and if I find a solution I'll be quick to post it. I downloaded El Cap 10.11.5 after reading people having some successes...

    AFP transfers between hacintoshes drop connection

    Howdy. I have two Customacs, using Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H motherboard, 4770k cpu, 2x8GB RAM, one has ATI and the other has the integrated Intel video... both are using the hnak 1000e drivers that come with Multibeast 6 for Mavericks. When doing file transfers, sometimes the process freezes...

    Asus G75VW (any sub- model) and Mavericks

    Has anyone tried Mavericks on their G75Vw, regardless if it's the -BBK5, -RS72, et al? It'd be cool if the 670M card worked... It'd be cooler if the 660M card worked as one wouldn't have to upgrade the video (and for mobile, if I had to make a sacrifice, no audio would be the one. As long...

    Have to boot from Unibeast, is it possible to add bootloader to installed OS?

    Howdy! I have Mavericks installed on my system, which is an overwrite on a 10.8.5 install. Everything is by and large smooth. But for all this time I boot from a USB stick to bring up the OS choice screen, and would like to try putting a bootloader onto my HDD if possible so I don't need to...

    Cool development....

    This is a cool development. I like Mavericks, but if it's possible to get Snow Leopard (with Rosetta/Universal app, ATi 7870 hardware, etc) on newer hardware I am tempted to do so...

    2 CD or not CD, and Drive Genius to clone the HDD with?

    Best non-Gigabyte mobo brand? Gigabyte's BIOS is rubbish...

    I've been through 2 Gigabyte boards (Sandy Bridge) and both have MASSIVE problems setting the voltage for the CPU - in non-overclocked status. I don't overclock, nor do I want to, but the BIOS is doing things on its own, even changing the default clock multiplier and it shouldn't be doing these...

    GA-P68MX-UD2H-B3 + FakeSMC + iStat = fake CPU voltage read?

    Howdy. With my new system (Gigabyte Ga-P68MX-UD2H-B3, i7-2600k, Gigabyte 6870 video) my BIOS reads the CPU at 1.20v. However, in OS X Lion with iStat 3.18, it is showing 1.41v. :eek: iStat also reads 98C on "CPU 1" and "CPU 2", whereas "CPU A" - "CPU D" all show low-40s, which I know ARE...

    i5-2500K or i7-2600K? And FireWire?

    Howdy. Looking at the official parts list, I am narrowed down to 2 CPU choices: i5-2500K i7-2600K I do some After Effects design work (still college-level), Bryce 7 (3D rendering), but mostly I use Photoshop, InDesign, and Dreamweaver. But on my current system (2.66GHz Nehalem Xeon) it can...
