What is a AFAIK? How does it make a Hackintosh fully functional? How do I get/make this? Thanks

UEFI and LGA 1155 motherboard Recommendation needed for Yosemite Hackintosh build Hello everyone, I need to replace my LGA 1155 motherboard and reinstall Yosemite Hackintosh on it. Since the 1155 is old, I can't find them, or the Z line are so expensive that it is not worth getting...

Thank you for you reply and the instructions. as to why I would want the HD3000 in addition to the discrete video card, I think mainly for AirPlay. But since it is in a dual boot set up, and I have it set up as VIRTU under Win7 install, I did not want to have to enter the BIOS to disable...

Thank you for your informed clarification. I made sure the BIOS version matched, but I was going to use the same DSDT file I used on my SL build when I was about to upgrade to Mavericks, so it seemed strange. Thanks. Is there a program that I can use to recompile the DSDT file when the BIOS...

IF I FOUND THE DSDT FILE FOR MY MOTHERBOARD, does the same DSDT file works for all OS X versions, from Snow Leopard to Mavericks 10.9.2? or do I have to find a different DSDT file for each version of OS X depending on which version I am installing? Just needed some clarification. THANK YOU...

Is there a benefit to installing Hackintosh OS X Mavericks on a UEFI motherboard rather than the BIOS motherboard? My motherboard can choose between old BIOS or UEFI. I am not sure if I want to flash the BIOS to UEFI. Current plan is to install a dual booting Hackintosh (Win7 64bit and OS X...

Hi all. I have a hackintosh running OS X 10.6.8. It works great, but I had to do some tinkering for my video card to work properly. Since I already had hackintosh compatibility issue with the nVidia GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB video card, I was wondering if anyone else had problems or success...

Thanks for the reply. My graphics card only has 1 DVI port and 1 VGA port, no DVI adapter involved. I also tried different monitors with different native resolutions, but the frequency is fixed at 60MHz and I could not change them. none of this helped...

Thank you for the suggestion. Interesting things happened. 1. At boot, I get this error: "errors encountered while starting computer. pausing 5 seconds" then the computer continues booting after 5 seconds 2. I get a new Apple screen while booting. Instead of the solid grey apple on the...
