I'm on Ivy Bridge. I'm still on High Sierra. Do what's best for you, but just because you want to be on the cutting edge doesn't mean everyone needs to be there.

The idea I'm seeing that Hackintosh is just about over is silly. Maybe if you only want to run on the cutting edge, but... Let's say you build a new Hac now. Or next year. (I'm actually thinking next year.) It will be able to run the current MacOS and current versions of whatever apps you like...

I remember the bad old days of Windows 3.1 and 95, when MacOS was still guided by solid, sensible human interface design principles, and using a Mac was just a far more pleasant experience... Still, Mac suffered from limited hardware and software support and outrageous price premiums to go with...

Right - well, I wouldn't buy components until I knew more about compatibility. So I might really be saying "2022". I'm aware. And generally that's good advice. But in this case, it looks like Intel's been stagnating for a while, stuck on 14nm, and it sounds like they're trying to lower...

So I’ve got an Ivy Bridge machine that still works alright, but it’s feeling a bit long in the tooth. Intel’s chip improvements have been pretty feeble, but eight years of feeble improvements add up, and I could certainly use more power (I do a lot of media processing among other things). I was...

A zillion people seem to ask this question, I have checked those threads but the answers don't apply to me or don't make any sense... Installed High Sierra on what was a stable El Capitan machine, now trying to work all the bugs and glitches out. The only resolution I get is 1024 x 786 but...

This is exactly the kind of help I need - raising questions I wouldn't know to ask and showing me where I need to do more research (and what to look for). I looked at the board and case pics again and located 3 of the four fan headers (and the CPU fan header). I'm confident the case fan...

2 to start (HDD and optical), SSD later for sure. Turns out there's a photo of the board and box contents on Newegg that makes it look like it comes with 6 SATA cables - but I can't find any text that supports (or contradicts) that. The case comes with 2, and there'll be one on the PSU...

Thanks for the once-over, Stork. I don't need wifi with my current network config and I plan on using the integrated graphics as I don't do a lot of gaming, so both will be future upgrades. Any advice re: needing to buy drive interface cables or other small parts?

I finally got the money to pull the trigger on buying parts for a new Hackintosh. I'm fairly comfortable with messing around inside a computer case, as I've installed drives, RAM, cards, etc (including one time when I took a Power Mac 7100 completely apart and replaced some of the parts from...

That does help a bit, thanks.

Hi everyone. I've got a G5 Power Mac and as I'm sure most of you might guess it's well on its way to becoming obsolete. Most new software or even new software versions don't support it (I can't run the latest Firefox, for instance, because I can't run OS 10.6 or better, and the newest version of...
