    Low Geekbench Score

    Are you kidding? Don't rub it in our faces. Those are great results. Why do you think you deserve a higher score if your clocked so relatively low?

    [Q] Can I control Power Schedule on Linux on Mac mini

    Most of these options can be configured via the BIOS on other hardware that I know support it - on a mac mini though, I am not quite sure. Maybe you can configure it via osx and have the boot loader select linux by default??

    GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 USB 3.0 Problems

    I would love to hear back on this issue. I used to have a decently working USB 3.0 port in Lion versions 10.7.1 - 10.7.3 I recently updated to 10.7.5 and I couldn't even mount my device anymore. Interestingly enough I do have certain outputs in dmesg if I take a look USBMSC Identifier...

    Dualbooting Mountain Lion and Windows 7 on a single SSD, and using an HDD for data

    This is no problem. One thing I will advise you of though, since you are likely to use a SSD anywhere from 60+ . . . 120+ gb... is that you disable/lower the page file size in winfail. It will be 1 to 1 with your RAM size, and if you're like me, you'll have 16gb of ram and barely any HD space...

    Installed Ubuntu 12.10, How to Write Chimera over GRUB2?

    I triple boot a system myself personally, and it gets tricky if you installed a distro of linux like ubuntu with default settings. I haven't found a straight forward way to do it - rather a tedious way. It required installing the default windows boot loader, and then booting into your...

    Guide: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with ATI 6870 - Clean ML/Lion Install

    Re: Guide: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with ATI 6870 - Clean Lion Install I am having an issue with mouse lag / roughness when I'm using my graphics card. Interestingly enough when I set my graphics card back for rma service ( for different reasons ) I fell back to the Intel HD 3000 graphics and I didn't...

    8800 GT Mouse Lag (Not QT)

    I also have an issue with mouse lag and am using a radeon hd 6870 card on lion 10.7.3. Relatively high end, but still issues with mouse lag. I also have tested using onboard hd3000 graphics and there seems to be no mouse lag. Kind of puzzled.

    OC'd in BIOS but OS X still reports stock?

    There is a file that can be edited to show the clock speed of your liking. I forget what it was.... Erm... Anyhow... This has been distressing a bit as well, but it's not big deal since geek bench clearly posts better results.

    Whats your 2500K Geekbench Score?

    I've gotten 9400 at stock and 10400 when clocking to 4.0ghz. For some reason when I go to "About This Mac" it reads an incorrect CPU clock value. Is there a fix for this?? EDIT: Apparently everyone gets this. Anyhow, has anyone compared their builds in Linux? I boot three OS's and my Linux...

    Full Disk Encryption with Chimera, Tri Boot.

    Very cool man and thanks for the quick reply. Chimera/Chameleon didn't need any tweaks to recognize play nicely with the LVM and LUKS partition(s)?

    Full Disk Encryption with Chimera, Tri Boot.

    Hey, seeing that you scared EVERYONE away with this post, I am curious if you managed to do any of this on your own. I would love to do something similar with Arch Linux with LVM.

    Guide for Installing Lion on the 4530s Version 3

    Hey there. For some reason now I have an unbootable USB. Interestingly enough, that is IF I boot directly from the USB i.e. select it as my boot device. But on my main hacktintosh desktop, Chimera sees this USB and I can select it and enter the setup (with some graphical artifacts which I am...

    Help needed choosing graphics card

    Compatibility should only be better in 10.7.3 considering a lot of the update had to do with Apple providing better drivers for AMD and other GPUs.

    Help needed choosing graphics card

    This is my experience, and the experience of many in this thread - viewtopic.php?f=15&t=35138 - My card is in the process of being replaced by the manufacturer warranty.

    Guide for Installing Lion on the 4530s Version 3

    This question may sound redundant. I am wondering if a usb created via unibeast with laptop support enabled is absolutely required. I currently have a USB created with laptop support NOT enabled. Perhaps there's a work around for this, meaning I would still be able to use this usb intended...
