    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

    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 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?

    Radeon success

    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

    Anyone familiar with this hybrid laptop drive http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NS ... PDKIKX0DER You can buy an adapter to use in a desktop. I was thinking of trying this as the main drive on my Hackintosh. Not really big enough to hold all my music and photos so they would be on a...

    Couldn't boot

    My Hackintosh had been on a roll. No problems at all. Last night I did a normal shut down and this morning it froze on the Apple screen. Booted in safe mode and restored MultiBeast. Still couldn't get it to boot properly. Gave up and reinstalled but any ideas what could have been going on?

    Which iBoot?

    In an effort to figure out why my Hackintosh is so buggy I am going to reinstall from scratch. If I have an nvidia video card and an i7 CPU which iBoot should I use?

    This hackintosh isn't reliable. Next step?

    I am at my wit's ends. Still have a schizophrenic build. Either runs solid for the day or is a cascade of crashes. I have rerun MultiBeast with the proper DSDT dozen of times. Repaired permissions 100's of times. Bios settings are correct. Not over clocked. Memtest was OK. So I am torn...

    Unreliable Hackintosh

    Gray sparkaly screen

    From time to time when I come out of sleep my monitor has a grayish sparkaly screen. It has movement rather than static. I just have to power off. Sorry if this has been discussed, gray and sparkle show up as lots of other threads.

    Very long boot up

    What is going on behind the scenes when that blue screen pops up before you get to the desktop. Sometimes I am stuck on the blue screen for many minutes, the hard drive light is churning along nicely, not constantly, not stuck.

    Keyboard not working

    I am having problems with my Apple USB keyboard. When I start my Hackintosh it won't light up even during the bios boot. Then when I get to iBoot screen I can't do anything. Multiple reboots with unplugging/plugging will usually solve it. Works every time with my MacBook Pro.

    iBoot issue

    I have used iBoot a couple of times. I have all USB devices unplugged except the keyboard, 4 GB of RAM, only the hackintosh hard drive installed. When I get to iBoot, I take it out, insert the RETAIL disk of SL and hit F5. I am then presented with two options iMac (my existing hack drive) and a...

    Radeon HD 5750 why wouldn't it work OOB?

    So I see the new iMacs have the Radeon HD 5750 as an option. So why is it that the card wouldn't work OOB in a Hackintosh? Or would it? Am I still thinking too much like a Windows user?

    Graphics Conundrum

    So I really wanted to get a better graphics card in my Hackintosh. I had a 9500 GT. I bought a GeForce 250 GTS. But it has worse benchmark scores under 10.6.4 So I guess I will send it back because I had no luck tweaking it with the various DSDT fixes. Who knows 10.6.5 might fix it, but my 30...

    My iPad now charges

    Cool, updated to F11 bios and my iPad now charges from the front and rear USB ports. Showed Not Charging prior to update. Apple says it does actually charge when in sleep mode though.

    Buggy Hackintosh

    My system just isn't working right. I have bios F10 with my board, I did notice F11 is now out there. I am running 10.6.4 with MultiBeast 2.05. I have a GeForce GTS 250 video card and 8 GB of RAM. System is laggy at times, individual programs crash a lot and KP from time to time. Just a real...

    CPU Unknown

    Oldest question in the book, but my i7 is showing up as unknown even though I clicked the iMac i7 option in MulitBeast. Here is a copy of my simbios.plist in the extras folder. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"...

    New Graphic card on the way

    I have a GA-P55M-UD2 with a GeForce 9500 GPU. I used Tony's MultiBeast with the Gigabeast option for that MOBO. I get kernel panics everyone few days. When I boot up my rig the GPU fan makes a horrible noise. So I figured I would replace it and see if it helps. I have a PNY XLR8 GTS 250-1024...
