So I have a hackintosh that I have been using on 10.7.4 for almost a year now, but I would like to upgrade to Mountain lion (and then mavericks later) but I haven't yet because I really need the computer working and I'd hate to mess something up. It was such a fiasco initially to just get it running: it wouldn't boot with graphics enabled for the first two weeks, finally got it to boot somehow (don't even know how) and it still doesn't have core graphics working (like if I add a widget I get no ripple effect) and sound didn't work for a month and all of a sudden turned on one day with no changes from me.
Edit: Right now system is showing up as Mac Pro early 2008, should I change this? How do I go about changing this?
System is:
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Firmware 10
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA Series GV-R685OC-1GD Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost)
CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
1 TB Seagate Barracuda
Sony DVD drive
Is there anything in particular I should look out for when I update to 10.8? I have regular backups from Time Machine, should I also clone my drive somewhere?
I have already downloaded multibeast 5.3.1 and the proper DSDT for my motherboard and firmware. I only have 10.8, so I would need to update to 10.8.4 afterwards - should I bother running multibeast and DSDT or just install 10.8, update to 10.8.4 with the downloaded upgrader and THEN run multibeast and DSDT?
I am just super freaked out that I will mess something up and brick my hackintosh lol
