My old 8600GT is failing (my GT210 burned out and another card I bought doesn't work at all). What Nvidia cards are the best option for ML and hopefully further updates for less than 100 bucks right now?

I have 2 sitting here and the fan noise is easy to deal with just by shutting the closet door. 1 is a Supermicro and the other a Dell. I tried running an EZB install on the Dell but it didn't even boot far enough to continue trying. Most of the 1U servers now have PCI and PCIe ports, you just...

There is a huge market for refurbed 1U servers out there you can get for 99 bucks to 200 bucks. Normal configs are quad core or even dual quad core and they normally come with 4-8GB of RAM. Dell and Supermicro are the most common but there are plenty of Compaq / HP, IBM and others. I'm...

Damn, it was a lot easier when all I had to do was install a modified kext. Other than hiring someone to do this who can actually do it I'm probably stuck w/ searching for an add on digital input PCI card or similar. I'm afraid this one is beyond my current level of hacking ability.

I was finally able to get my on board audio working again using MB, w/ DSDT and the Legacy 888 Codec but once again the digital audio input is not showing up or working. I've tested the inputs that are showing (I thought maybe one of the line ins showing might have been it) but after going...

One thing to keep in mind - with some mobos the SATA ports support hot swap capability and this will cause your internal discs to show up as external simply because they are "removable". This is NOT a bad thing, this can actually indicate your system is detecting your storage chip correctly...

I kept running into the install failed message like some. Here's what finally solved it for me: 1. Ran check and repair on my OS disc Sure enough, there were lots of permissions issues but even this was not solving the problem. Apparently you have to reboot after the repair and then try...

Is there a specific probook that works? It looks like they have AMD and Intel graphics options. I haven't had the greatest experience trying to use AMD graphics on my builds in the past. I can't find any details on the mobos, chipsets, etc would help. I've been able to get OSX running on a few...

I already have a desktop I use daily, I need a laptop for mobile use. There's no way in hell I'm paying 2500 bucks for a freaking laptop though. I own just about every Apple device known to man but the pricing on the MB Pros is just ridiculous.

I need the equivalent of a new Macbook Pro (17 in screen preferred) but don't see the point in spending a couple of thousand on the hardware. I already own a Macbook but it's one of the older models and I can't say I'm really satisfied w/ it enough to buy another one. What current model laptops...

OK, got the update to 10.6.8 running again but ran into a couple of issues - My USB mouse and keyboard would not work after running multibeast (I did select the option to install the USB rollback). I was able to boot from the hard drive instead of the iBoot CD, however. Unfortunately, that...

Thank you for sharing that info. I wanted to point out, my understanding from reading the docs is that selecting User DSDT will automatically install the bootloader and that it does not have to be selected. I haven't tried it yet but do plan to.

I've had my pMac for quite a while and ended up following the full update path from the first Tonymac release to 10.6.8. This means I have a ton of extra kexts and config files I probably don't need. Unfortunately, my install finally broke (my fault, did something trying to fix a tmp file...

try adding "cpus=1" to your boot parameters. When SL first boots you have an option to type in commands, I think you can do it in the chameleon screen as an option after you swap the discs out.

My mobo is a p55A-ud3, not a p55-UD3 - there's a slight difference. The current bios for mine is version F6, the version for yours according to the DSDT database should be F7 (apparently another revision has happened since then but be careful, the last post I saw from someone who went to F8 had...
