    Upgrading Graphics Card to Geforce 710

    Hi Everyone... I have an older build that I recently updated to High Sierra and it is working fine. In another thread Gigamaxx advised me not to go beyone High Sierra because my graphics card would not be supported. And he gave me several suggestions. (Thank you.) I just bought a MSI Geforce GT...

    << Solved >> No Audio: High Sierra, Realtek 889

    My mobo has built in realtek 889 audio. I installed what I think are the correct drivers but I obviously am missing something. Can anyone help walk me through this?

    << Solved >> Screen Resolution

    Thank you! I got it resolved. Now my only problem seems to be that I cannot get my audio to work. Seems pretty straightforward in Multibeast but I must be doing something wrong.

    << Solved >> Only 8GB of RAM showing up

    Hi Everyone, I just updated the Hack build I put together in 2012 with High Sierra. The install all went very well but I have a few issues. For one thing, I have 16 gb of RAM installed (two 8 GB) but only 8 GB are showing up (two 4 GB). Any ideas what I might do to fix this? Here is the...

    << Solved >> Screen Resolution

    Hi Everyone, I just updated the Hack build I put together in 2012 with High Sierra. The install all went very well but I have a few issues. The first one being my screen resolution is all janky. It is stretched out and does not fill the whole screen. Any ideas what I might do to fix this? Here...

    I tempted fate too long (a plea for help)

    That was GREAT advice. Thank you for being patient and taking time to help me troubleshoot. Your comment made me realize that perhaps deleting the downloads was not the problem. One detail I neglected to mention when I said that I upgraded from 3 TB to 6TB is that I added a 3TB drive (for...

    I tempted fate too long (a plea for help)

    Thank you, Gigamaxx. Unfortunately that didn't work. I can't enter bios. All I get is the black screen and "loading operating system" message.I had also tried holding command at startup to boot from a carbon copy of the OS that I had on a backup drive but the same thing happens. It looks like I...

    I tempted fate too long (a plea for help)

    Hi folks. Admittedly I have not been around for a long time. In 2012 I built this computer: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/g4-powermac-mod-candy-apple.55635/ I'm really not a computer guy, so the fact that I was able to build two Hackintoshes (the first one was a mini build in a Commodore 64...

    G5 for $25 - should I go for it?

    Great find Seamus. I knew you'd find a good deal eventually. Looking forward to seeing what you will do with it now. I was hoping that the one I got last week would be liquid cooled, but no such luck. You just gotta rebuild that cooler and use it.

    Eleven Macs, Which One to Hack?

    Yes, I totally lucked out on this find. If I told you how much I have in them you would cry. It's far less than $40 per computer though. I put the word out to everyone I knew who worked somewhere where there was a creative marketing department that I was looking for old broken macs and it paid...

    Eleven Macs, Which One to Hack?

    Sounds like an 80s horror flick - "Hack 'em All" So maybe I should ask which is the NEXt one I should hack.
