HI co pr. Thanks very much for the reply. I must admit, I find your explanations somewhat sad, but it is how modern computing works now. The latest Mac os's introduce a raft of measures that apple think is 'convenient' or 'trendy', but which are unnecessary CPU/HDD hogs. Most Apple users have...

Thanks Ed Really appreciate your comments. Don't use Apple services, but will change my SMBIOS and serial Also will try your suggestions Have a great day pootler

HI, Previously posted about lagginess on my nvidia gt710 on catalina. Seemed to solve this by installing big sur instead? However- has anyone come across big sur running REALLY slowly? Closing or opening brower pages ( Brave) can take up to 5 seconds. Just opening apps from the bottom bar takes...

This Pc is not my daily driver but my HTPC, but I will put it on my profile.

..and right below it it says 'sandy bridge'

managed to dig out my copy of hirens boot cd, so here is more detialed info. After all that the Mac os says, looks like the CPU IS Sandy Bridge:-) Also my 710 looks like it has 4gb ram, although I am sceptical of that , iam pretty sure it is 2gb.

oops here are my attachments PLEASE REPLACE .TXT EXTENSION with .RTF to view on Mac

O.k Here is my zipped efi folder. Also what I could obtain from System details on the hackintosh. Afraid I cannot provide more detail re hardware ( as in HWinfo on Windows ), but Mac os does not provide the sort of detail that the HWinfo Windows application does. Just to confirm what I do know...

Apologies - written in haste Will gather info and reply

Hello - new to this thread but not to hackintosh :-) I was recently trying to hack my lenovo m82 SFF. I use it for my HTPC. I installed an Asus geforce 710. Graphics work OOB. Internet fine. ( with intelmausiethernet) All I really need as well is HDMI audio. Those three things would be enough...

Pretty sure I know what I am doing - but thanks anyway.

Thanks rehabman, I would like to thank you for all the hard work you put in for people. As it happened I decided to take a different route. I am very unlikely to be changing hardware for a while, so I stuck with my original dsdt and ssdt. Used your 4xx0 config plist. I used your kext repo as a...

Thanks very much for the reply. yeah, profile is way out of date. Followed everything carefully - success ( with el capitan , waiting for stable sierra ) Except for sound - followed the problem solving involving reboot without cache, fixing cache and then rebooting 3 times - to no avail:-(...

Thanks- I have already tried this with no luck, but will go through it again
