    Hackintosh VS VMWare

    Much easier if the different OS are on different drives, and much better for you if one of the drives fails.

    Is a hackintosh reliable long term?

    Both my hackintoshes are extremely reliable. I use one of them as my daily computer and it has never let me down. My hacks have given me less grief than my MacBook pro. Lots of good guides, and lots of helpful people on these forums.

    GA-Z77-UD5H upgrade to Mavericks Build list + issues [Solved]

    if the drives on the Intel ports are data drives and not OS drives then just switch the data drives to the Marvel ports and put the OS on an Intel port. If you need more SATA ports get a 2 port or 4port PCIe card for $25.00 and switch the data drives or the optical drives over to that.

    GA-Z77-UD5H upgrade to Mavericks Build list + issues [Solved]

    I think the recommended Tonymac installation method suggests that the SSD containing the OS should always be installed on an Intel port for better operation. That's what I have always done. Put the data drives on Marvel ports.

    What the 2013 Mac Pro will really look like with external accessories...

    I have used both Plex and PS3 Media Server on my Hackintosh to stream to a PS3 and a Sony BDPS5100 connected to different TVs. Both programs work fine for streaming. Plex seems to do a better job of playing MKV files.

    Best Z77 mini-ITX motherboard

    You can overclock a i5-3470. The multiplier is locked but you can still play with the BCLK and the voltage to overclock it. It is possible to get it stable at 4.0 GHZ.

    Dedicated disk for TimeMachine and Windows 7?

    There is no reason why you can't back up Win 7 to an internal SATA drive. Personally I would want to keep the backups for Win 7 and OS X on different drives. Not sure of "free" solutions to read and write between NTFS and HFS+. I use MacDrive to read and write to HFS+ drives when using Win...

    Can't boot into Mac partition by default

    Are you sure you are in the correct section of the BIOS. You may need to go into the section of the BIOS that sets the order of the different hard drives on your computer and set the drive containing OS X as drive #1 and move the drive with Windows down to drive# 2. Then go into the section...

    Rumor: Haswell Retina MacBook Pro This Month- Return of 17" MBP

    I agree with all the comments re the keyboard on the 17" MacBook Pro, both pro and con. The 17" always looked ungainly to me, so I ended up with a 15". Now that the rest of the family is using 13" MacBook Pros I find even the 15" too big.

    Backups - Super Duper vs CCC and making image bootable.

    I have never experienced a CCC backup refusing to boot as a result of an incremental backup, so I can't be of any help in that respect. Have never tried SD. I keep my OS on one drive and the data on another drive. I have come to the conclusion that using both TM and CCC is the best solution...
