Re: Mac OS X 10.7.3 Update - The Official Thread For whatever reason the Combo Update was throwing me a bad checksum so I used Software Update. Worked great! Just needed to restore audio kexts.

For audio I believe I have the 889 HDAEnabler along with the ALC8xx kexts. I'll have to double check when I get back home though. Tried doing Lion last night, looks like XFX cards aren't Lion friendly. Lots of people with them are getting KPs when trying to boot the installer partition...

Looks like the whole XFX brand isn't very Lion friendly, I've got an XFX 6870 and I also get the KP at boot. Could this by the RadeonMonitor FakeSMC plugin not playing nice with the combination of XFX and Lion? Maybe all we have to do is kill that kext...

I've been getting the same prob. Any ideas anyone?

Hey Sanyi, I'm running an XFX 6870 and get the same KP as you. Maybe the XFX isn't 10.7 friendly?

For the CPU cooler I did the COOLER MASTER V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP. It's huge, and cools well. It does fit with the tall Corsair RAM I used. As for the Power Supply I did the CORSAIR Professional Series HX650 (650 Watt). Good bit of extra power for future stuff. Seems solid, very well reviewed...

I didn't buy Geekbench, so I don't have access to the 64-bit. I'll probably buy it once I start overclocking.

Yeah, I don't know about the support for virtualization. I have everything I need all in Mac Land. I built this machine for art stuff mainly (Final Cut, CS5, Protools), and the occasional game, (Civ V, Diablo 3 when it's out), so far it's rocking pretty hard.

Hey Redline. I can't speak for the 3.4 iMac, as we only run Macbook Pros and a few Mac Pros. We are running some of the 2.2 Sandy Bridge MBP's, and they're alright. Honestly I wasn't too impressed. I will say that the machine I just built is the fastest machine I've ever used. One of the...

So, I installed the USB 3.0 kext from the latest Multibeast and it bricked my system. That was fun. Luckily I had a backup image! Being that I don't have any USB 3 devices, and don't really plan on it, I'm going to hold off on USB 3 until I need it.

Not too sure. Doesn't say anything in System Profile about USB 3 so probably not. All ports are working though. I will say that my USB 2 flash disk have been blazingly fast compared to what I'm used to. I'm away from the machine, but when I get back in the next day or two I'll work on getting...
