Figured I'd let you guys know - 10.8.3 is running smooth (clean installation, not updated)! I updated the guide with what I found were the ideal settings for 10.8.3 Good Luck!

If You have bought OSX Mountain Lion before in the App-Store but it is not listed in your recent purchases, it looks as if you would have to purchase it again (on the OSX ML product page it will tell you the actual price to buy). In this case don't buy ML again because Apple will actually charge...

OK then, sorry for misleading you. btw: I found that VLC player does not output AC3/DTS over HDMI on my Macbook Air whereas XBMC does. Apparently there is some sort of issue with VLC and AC3/DTS passthrough under OSX, even for retail Macs... Regards

Yes, this one is solved. Sorry, had a lot on my mind the last months and didn't update the guide since early September... In Multibeast > Customization > System Definitions use the latest Mac Pro instead of the iMac 12.2. This will solve the popping audio issue. With both system definitions...

Even "native" Apple hardware has problems with AC3/DTS playback over SPDIF/HDMI, even with VLC. E.g my 11"-Air does not play AC3/DTS over HDMI using VLC. Didn't try it myself, but maybe this helps? http://legacy.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=49965 Regards, MP

Hello, Since you do have experience with both, the 9800 and the 6870 - i am currently running a Geforce 9800GT in my Win7 system that i plan to upgrade to be Lion-compatible. Suppose i just switch mainboard and CPU and choose to stick with the 9800 for a little while, how much of performance in...

Hey there, first off many thanks to all of you sharing your expertise and experiences and of course Tony for creating the guides. I'm currently switching to Mac from Windows - just ordered an 11" Air. Since this will be primarily for on-the-road usage i'd like to upgrade my 3 year old home...
