    Snow Leopard 10.6.3 installed but wont upgrade to 10.6.8

    What was your primary reason for building a hackintosh?

    I currently have a 2007 iMac 24" Duo Core that has begun to show it's age, as it is beginning to panic and crash randomly, especially when I start editing our Church service footage in iMovie. It overheats, and the USB connectivity is no longer 100% reliable. I had considered getting the 17,1...
