[WIP] Basic Gaming MAChine :D

[feb289]

Got it all sorted out. Running ML 10.8.5 now with sound and everything. Just wondering how would you know if the graphics card is running right? What drivers do i need to set it up? Installed CUDA drivers and web drivers theres been stuttering when moving windows not a major prob but it kinda sucks. So a few more adjustments and this build is a SUCCESS!! Any other useful apps for mac or any must have applications when using OSX?


Thanks for all the help Adrian

Handy Apps that I use are:

Geekbench - tests CPU and memory performance (32bit version is free)
DPCIManager - great tool to use for rebuilding cache/giving general system info and much more too.
Intel power Gadget - see what your CPU is doing - see how little power it really uses!
HWMonitor - included in MultiBeast good temperature monitor tool

If you have continuing graphics problems then I suggest a fresh thread in Forum/Post Installation/ Graphics section.
