Nice. Just wondering. Can I use an Ivy Bridge CPU from the guide above with a P67 mobo? Specifically an Asus P8P67 I'm considering to upgrade my processor.

Enabling HD 3000 graphics on 7-series motherboards, and HD 4000 on 6-series motherboards

Thanks a lot ! Merci beaucoup !
(why no Ati/amd cards?)

Mountain Lion currently has issues with AMD 6xxx cards (difficult to get working correctly) and there is no support for 7xxx cards in 10.8.2

What about the Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD3 and GA-Z77-HD4? Those seem like nice boards to put under the CustoMac Budget ATX category. Or at least under the Motherboards category.

Great guide, good work. I have one question: When buying a CustoMac, can i add a sound card?
Because i've bought a motherboard that doesn't have compatible sound in it.
Thanks in advance.
