    Forum slow, rendering blank pages and redirecting to front page on post edits

    I don't know if it's related but a problem I've noticed is that if I leave a particular page open for more than a few minutes Safari 11.0 tells me that it has reloaded the page because it was taking up an "excessive amount of memory". Presumably that has something to do with the ads? Over a...

    Recommendation for graphics card for vintage hardware?

    Well, I bought one and fitted it, downloaded and installed the nVidia web driver and updated Clover's plist. It works fine and has none of the little glitches that the Intel integrated graphics sometimes showed. My next project is to investigate HDMI audio.

    Fusion Drive (HD+SSD) and hackintosh: Difference vs mac

    I did it and it works. I have a 4.24 TB Fusion drive. When I boot the machine I get the usual HFS and Recovery options in Clover but I have to select the HFS option manually. The Recovery option doesn't work. Here's what the System Profiler shows: Both SSD and HD have EFI partitions. The one...

    Realtek RTL8111 driver permissions problem in Sierra

    You're welcome. I have quite a lot of experience with real Macs and Linux so I'm not daunted by the command line, but I'm very close to the bottom of the learning curve when it comes to Hackintoshes so I'm pleased that my very first post was helpful to someone. The thing that puzzles me is why...

    Realtek RTL8111 driver permissions problem in Sierra

    Hi everyone, I've just completed my first Hackintosh build using a new old-stock H61 motherboard with on-board Realtek LAN, a Core i7 2600K and macOS Sierra 10.12.6. I followed the September 2017 installation instructions, using the latest UniBeast and MultiBeast downloads and the Install macOS...

    Fusion Drive (HD+SSD) and hackintosh: Difference vs mac

    It's the best part of a year later but did you get anywhere with this? I've just built my first Hackintosh on a budget using a new old-stock H61 motherboard and a still pretty decent Sandy Bridge i7 2600K and installed Sierra 10.12.6. I have a 250 GB WD Blue SSD for the system drive and a 4 TB...
