[Success][ML & Mavericks] klinker's build: GA-P55A-UD3 rev.1 / i5 750 / GTX560Ti SOC + GT240 SilentCell
This is my 2nd hackintosh build for my use with Logic Pro. The first was years ago based on Leopard, later on Snow Leopard with a Gigabyte X48 UD4, Q6600, 4GB of ram and a HD4850 graphic card. This build is also little old, from the Lion times, but just now i find some time to made a thread. I know the hardware is not the last thing, but for now, it still serves me without problems or better performance need.
