It is fast. I can run VMWare Fusion with two guests with no issues and it all that matters to me.

Good morning, Tony. I finally got all of my parts, and successfully assembled the system with installing 10.6.6 with a clean install from 10.6.0 disk. Everything seems to be working (sound, LAN etc), however, there are some issues with animation (minimizing and restoring windows). It seems to...

Yep. Just do not try to experiment. Go with tested hardware and closely follow the instructions.

Thanks to promotion by MacRumors, Engadget and other geek sites :) Their news about Sandy Bridge on Mac made you famous. :)

It is very hard to predict Apple's strategy. Apple announced Mac OS X 10.7 to be out by June. Every April they have a new line of Macbooks out. So, assuming, by that time they will release OS X 10.6.7 which will be also a pilot for 10.7 with support of sandy bridge, which will be included in a...

Check this out :) http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/mac- ... available/ I guess, it is a big deal if it ended up on Engadget.com :)

Palit GeForce GTX 460 SONIC 2 GB 256-bit GDDR5 i7-920 12Gb DDR3 Kingston HyperX GA-X58A-UD3R Rev1.0 http://www.amazon.com/Palit-GeForce-256 ... 827&sr=8-1 I experience random freezes once or twice a day. Sometimes it happiness while I use iTunes, Browsers, VMFusion, video editors... However...

According to various sources, OS X 10.6.6 is coming out soon in couple of weeks. Since Sandy Bridges are expected in the same time, I found it very suspicious. :) I say, it is possible that there will be a support for new CPU chipsets.

Here's what I was able to spot on Newegg... Sines you have a harddrive, it would be cheaper. A 1gb harddrive would cost you extra $50... Plus you need to get a copy of MacOS. Oh year, Mini-ITX H55N card is down to $77 dollars. I guess it is somehow related to sandy bridge that is around the...

Should be fine.

After TonyMac's Mini-ITX guide with GA-H55N-USB3, I started thinking about building my own little rig. I already have most of the components (RAM, HD, LCD, Keyboard/Mouse, Speakers, even DVDRom). However, I wonder how Mini-ITX with 1155 socket will be integrated with SL... ASUS Mini-ITX...

Since this is an official thread, I will ask here. After installing 10.6.5 version, my system freezes once in a while (every day or every second day). I don't know if it is related to Video Card, or mother board, or MultiBeast or anything... There are two ways my system freezes. SL stops...

Re: Few issues with my x56a-UD3R rev1. Thanks for tips. I will check /var/log/system.log file after next crash. Installing jMicronx86eSATA didn't solve the issue. If I don't solve this in near future, I will have to get a USB3 enclosure.

Hi everybody. I've got two questions... However, I'm not sure what causes them. 1. I bought an external hardrive enclosure NexStar MX with USB2.0 and eSata ports. Also, I'm using 2TB harddrive with 3 NTFS partitions on it. According to manual, it should be working on OSX 8.6 or greater. My...

Re: MultiBeast 2.6.1 Sorry, MacMan, but this is greatest misperception... :) Website is called TonyMacX86, and website's logo is on the MultiBeast... :) So, logically thinking, Tony and MultiBeast are directly related :) However, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't thank Tony for his website...
