I have a system with motherboard Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe that I plan to install Mac OS X. I made a USB installation stick with Lion 10.7.4, Unibeast 1.4.0 and BridgeHelper 5.0. The installation worked great and then changed the kernel. Then I booted on the USB stick to boot the installed Mac OS X...

I have been searching some but have only found one system here in the forum with a slot loading DVD, Apple Cube 2.0 ( http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=58768 ) but it also reads bluray that I do not need. I have found some more but no real thread regarding slim slot loading units that...

I wonder if people here have systems that have been running for a long time with no problem regarding compatibility, software update or any other problems. Systems where a Hackintosh is created with tonymacx86 solutions and then just been running for many months or over a year. In general what...

I did grow up with Windows and it was a pain. I then in 2006 got a MacBook with Core2Duo and it was very nice. Little over a year ago I planned a second machine and got parts for a Hackintosh. Core i7 870, mini-ATX in a compact case. I had some plans with this machine but they got dumped. I have...

I'm planning on having an internal backup disc in my system. Because I have 2TB RAID1 and a system drive I want to have a bigger backup disc. I know their is a 2TB limit on the oldy BIOS but what I can see Mac OS X seems to go around it some how ( http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/W ...

I changed to a RAID 1 solution for my system drive and it works great to create the RAID, install, boot iBoot and run Multibeast. I have changed the graphics card to a GeForce 7500 LE temporary for one less problem making component. After some research to run Mac OS X from a RAID their needs to...

UPDATE: Everything except the video card, Zotac GeForce GT430 ZONE, is working. This card gave me kernel panic in the beginning and is still my source of my problem. Read later in this thread to see where I'm at at the moment. System specifications: MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-H57M-USB3 rev2.0 -...

I'm a little confused about I would get a processor with or without VT-d support. Does VT-d increase the speed in programs like Parallels Desktop? Oldy Windows XP will run under Parallels Desktop. I'm going between Core i7-870 and Core i7-875K. The price between them isnt that big and they are...

I'm planing a system with a SSD system drive and two Samsung Ecogreen F4 2TB in a RAID 1 configuration. What is the best RAID solution, via Intels H57 chipset or Apples software RAID? When configuring it via Intels chip RAID configuration will not be loosed when reinstalling, system drive...

Because the lack of PCI Express ports on Gigabyte GA-H57M-USB3 motherboard I want to use the old PCI ports for Firewire 800 card. The PCI bus support in theory 133MiB/s (1064Mbit/s?) and Firewire 800 Mbit/s (100MiB/s) to the PCI bus will not limit Firewire 800 speed. Right? I have found a card...
