Just wanted to say thank you for this great guide. Thanks to it, i now have the Mac system I've always wanted, save for some ram, hehe. Asus Hero VI i5 4670K @ 4.0Ghz 8 Gigs Corsair Vengeance RAM *For now, will be going higher soon* Intel 520 series "Cherryville" SSD *Main OS X drive*...

Congrats, Mr. Lucky One :D

[Success] iDell XPS 8300 *Mountain Lion 10.8* *BUMP* Nice work man :D Sorry i havent been around much to lend any support to those trying to do this. Life has had me very busy lately, lol. Again, excellent work, and i will add more to it as people start moving towards ML. Cheers! ~~Grave

Wicked. can't wait to get ahold of the Ivy supported XPS Desktop, iDell V2.0! :D

If you are doing Photo / Video editing, you will want a discreet card. Photoshop uses OpenGL 2.1 when available, and the difference is night and day between discreet and HD3000. ~~Grave

Re: Mac OS X 10.7.3 Update - The Official Thread Project iDell is in the stage of DL'ing the update as i type this. I will return in an hour or so with news, and issues, if there are any. ~~Grave

CCC for every install i have done after my first stable 10.6.8 install. Once that was done, i used CCC to create my first (and "base") install for Lion, to a USB drive, 8GiB. Once that was created, i used MultiBeast and installed EasyBeast to said USB stick, and used DisK Utility in OS X to...

If you have the installer downloaded already, you can use either the uniBeast method to install Lion, or, the xMove method. i have used both, and they both work for the XPS 8300. Using the xMove process, you need to use a 8GiB USB key, or larger, as the target for it to move the installer...

I would suggest getting ahold of a Lion Installer USB key, and using the UniBeast method to install Lion. To my knowledge, your vid card is not supported, and most likely is causing the KP's. SL is pretty much out dated now, and i have stopped supporting installs of SL on the Dell XPS 8300. I...

Most likely the first result is due to uising a Dual Channel Kit, and the second is just a single stick of Ram. Spreading the workload over 2 channels is faster than using a single channel, as it causes a "Bottle Neck" to occur on said channel. Dual channels allows more work to be done, without...

The best way to decide if a PSU is going to be adequate to support your hardware, is to look at the minimum requirements for each piece of hardware. Example, the 6870 requires a 500w PSU minimum. Each HDD uses 30-50w a piece, depending on type *SATA 1,2, or 3* CPU uses 100w max. RAM uses 10-15w...

Fixed, see first post. :) ~~Grave

Re: H55M-S2V + GTX 550Ti Issues (Lion) Adding a totally custom plist is great and all, but why should it be needed on a card that works OOB on my Dell, and works 100% during the install phase? I'm looking for something like this, but with the settings used for UniBeast. ~~Grave

Pretty sure it does, but don't quote me on it. I didn't have it when i was running SL, so i can't be certain. ~~Grave

Re: H55M-S2V + GTX 550Ti Issues (Lion) I have, repeatedly. And 3.8.0 works on Lion. My iDell guide and system say so. ;) Please read the entire post :wave: ~~Grave

Try using 1360x768x32 in that string instead. OS X won't use the actual resolution, due to a code limitation with resolutions. I have a 18.5" display i use for testing sometimes, and OS X sets its reso @ 1360x768. ~~Grave

Check my sig block. the bluetooth adapter listed, works 100% OotB with Lion. ~~Grave

**** Issue is resolved. Wont get into details, but, had to do some "hacking" so to speak of the UniBeast USB stick i created. Can give a tut if anyone else needs.**** Ok, so before i get into the issues I'm having, heres the Hardware List ... H55M-S2V MoBo (F3) 4 GiB of PNY 1333 Ram 1TB...

I no longer support any Snow Leopard installs. Lion is @ 10.7.2, and about to go to .3. My guide for Lion is located here .. --> viewtopic.php?f=168&t=26261 ~~Grave
