    ATI Radeon HD 5870, WOW and 10.6.7

    I went back in this morning and looked at it. Those high numbers must have been a fluke. On Good, with default Good settings I was in the low 100s On Ultra, once again default it was 60ish. Still better than before 10.6.7 where Good was in the sixties.

    ATI Radeon HD 5870, WOW and 10.6.7

    Just happened to check out my FPS on WoW today, first time since upgrading to 10.6.7 With the settings at max I am getting 150+, in 10.6.6 I was getting mid 60s. Just thought I would pass that around for anyone thinking of this card.

    Cannot upgrade MultiBeast

    OK, I will remember that in the future. I just assumed that the kext got better, it would make things more stable. In the past I have described the files in my Extra folder and been told it sounds like I am using an old MultiBeast version, those aren't used anymore. That led to my thinking it...

    Cannot upgrade MultiBeast

    Every time I try a new version of MultiBeast I end up trashing my system and I have to reinstall from scratch using 2.8. On this last attempt, MultiBeast seems to hang ripening scripts and then I get a KP. Any ideas?

    Firefox crashes a lot

    I did as suggested and FF seems better. It might have been an extension. I only installed Adblock this time.

    Firefox crashes a lot

    I get Firefox 4 crashes multiple times a day. Safari more stable, Chrome somewhere in between. You never know with a Hackintosh whether it's you or buggy software. Anyone else having problems like this?

    Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update - The Official Thread

    I installed via the Combo Update and reran MultiBeast. MultiBeast said installation failed and I foolishly restarted. Now I get to the desktop and then it just loops to the blue screen, back to desktop, etc. Ran with iBoot disk and it does the same thing, in safe mode I get to the blue screen...

    The card Amazon shows doesn't look like the replacement they sent me, that one had cooling tubes sticking out the side like this. http://www.geeks3d.com/public/jegx/2010 ... cooler.jpg But if you get it and run it in Windows and don't like it, RMA it and hopefully the next one will work...

    You guys are smarter than me. The card shows 32 bit in the About This Mac box. What do I need to do to try and get it running 64 bits? I will give it a try. I do get the ripple effect when adding a widget which is something I have seen mentioned before. I don't see why you can't do an...

    I completely deleted Extras and used MultiBeast 3.2 today and it works fine. I chose no graphics options and selected Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - ATI Experimental as the bootloader. Currently in 1920x1080

    Buy it from Amazon. If it is defective they pay return shipping, keep doing it till you get the one you want.

    OK, got my new card from Amazon today. Strangely, while the box was the same, the card looked totally different, shorter, had cooling pipes. It works great in OS X and Win 7.

    Update I tried this card http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Q6 ... PDKIKX0DER and it worked great (with one caveat). Took out the old card, put this one in, no changes to MultiBeast all worked fine. OpenGL scores went from mid 2000's to mid 4000's The card is very long and barely fit...

    Should have added these settings MultiBeast with the following options: - UserDSDT - Advanced Options -> Kexts -> Graphics -> Enablers -> ATY_Init Vervet - Advanced Options -> com.apple.boot.plist -> 32-bit GraphicsEnabler=No

    I had no luck getting one of the Fermi nVidia cards to work. World of Warcraft froze, random weird crashes. I put this Radeon HD 5770 in and it works great. About a 10% increase over my old nVidia 9800. I used my existing install, deleted the Extras folder and reran MultiBeast along with the...

    Hybrid Drive

    I almost fell for that yesterday and even had two in the cart. The google search sends you to this one but it doesn't have the 4gb of flash. The Amazon one is ST95005620AS but the one you linked to is the ST9500420AS, this is just a standard drive. $70 would be a bargain for that drive.
