    Your First Computer

    I couldn't believe I was actually able to find an image almost exactly like the IBM XT clone my dad bought my brother and I in 1987! This is it right down to the key lock and yellow and red buttons, but ours had two 5.25" floppy drives. But get this... 1987 - PC XT clone with two 5.35" floppy...

    Looking for list of compatible LGA1155 Mobos

    TL;DR - I need Buyer's Guide from 2012 or so that covers LGA115 motherboards. So a few weeks ago my Customac dies. Poof - dead. Turns out to be the power supply, an OCZ 600W 80+ that I only learn then is out of warranty because of the bankruptcy. So I buy an EVGA 650W 80+ Gold and plug it in...

    GA-Z77-DS3H Yosemite Working Update

    Now THAT is disappointing. Did you find you were working perfectly under previous versions of OSX and now with Yosemite you're freezing?

    GA-Z77-DS3H Yosemite Working Update

    Hi, Neotil: You said you started this thread to help users with this motherboard, and I hope you can help me. I installed Yosemite without much fuss on a new 4TB drive, keeping my existing Mountain Lion drive as a backup. ML worked flawlessly, BTW. Everything seems to have installed...

    Need help - GbE problem

    Gigabyte has confirmed for me that they are using the Atheros 8161 chip on this motherboard. A quick search of this forum reveals that there is no kext for this chip. I am installing a USB to Ethernet dongle instead of trying to write my own kext. This is a cautionary tale for noobs - stick...

    [SUCCESS]: TWO HACKINTOSH BUILD'S GA-H77-DS3H & GA-H77M-D3H] Everything working Great :)

    On your GA-H77M-D3H build, you mention that you installed the Ethernet kext. Which one did you install? I can't get the Ethernet port to work on my GA-H77M-D3H and could really use your advice.

    Need help - GbE problem

    I'm tearing my hair out over this, and I have a feeling I'm missing something simple and/or stupid. I'm building a rig for my father-in-law. Configuration: GA-H77M-D3H Intel Core i5-3570K Corsair Memory Vengeance 16 Dual Channel Kit DDR3 1600 MHz SanDisk Extreme SSD 480 GB Syba Low...

    Z77 mATX Motherboards and OS X

    I got the audio working, my problems are the dead DIMM slots and the dead LAN port and the three problematic motherboards in a row. No one has any idea what could be going on? <desperately looking for help>

    Z77 mATX Motherboards and OS X

    Outstanding review - wish I'd seen this before I tried an install using the GA-H77M-D3H. I've gone through three of them trying to get it to work. First had bad DIMM slots, second had a bad LAN port, and the third had both the bad DIMM and bad LAN! I have another thread asking WTF I could be...

    FCP Studio 3

    I'm in a similar boat - currently using FCP7/CS5.5 on a 12 Core Mac Pro. Quit my job to become a stay at home dad but still want an editor and was thinking Hackintosh. In another thread on this board I asked what notebook to go with for the best FCP experience and was told that there really...

    Notebook Buying Advice

    <big sigh of dissapointment> I was afraid of that. I was really hoping to find a Wintel laptop that loaded up OSX no problem and ran Final Cut Pro and Adobe CS5.5 like it was a native 17" MacBook Pro. I guessing it's not to be. No other suggestions?

    Notebook Buying Advice

    Most of the freelancers in my (former) industry use the MacBook Pro. By itself it's a great, machine to take directly to the client's location or to the studio or location shoot to begin ingesting video files. I had the same thought about laptops as video editors, but they function very well...

    Notebook Buying Advice

    First off, I apologize if this question is stereotypical. I searched the forum for the notebook I'd like to turn into a Hackintosh but got no hits. I just quit my job as a video editor to become a stay at home dad. This means I lose access to all my high end editing equipment, including a...

    Newbie question - dual booting OSX and Windows 7

    I'm a newbie as well, and this is exactly what I want to do, too. I understand that given the nature of creating a Hackintosh I need to wipe my system's hard drive and install Snow Leopard first, then install Windows on a separate partition. What is the best method for doing this, and how well...
