hey guys, decided to reload everything after i had a mishap with a few kexts and KPs. So i downloaded the newest boot with chimera in it. I burned it to a CD-R as a disk image and went about doing work, but when i use the new iboot cd to load up and then press f5 and switch to the SL install...

Ah sorry, havnt done a whole lot of research into silent stuff. As for the board ud3r also has USB 3... tbh I didn't find any worthwhile reason to up from the 3r to the 5 but that's me J

If I can make a suggestion, try out the scythe mugen cpu fan. It's huge, but really quiet! As for the ud3r vs ud5 I went with the 3r because i couldn't find a reason to use the second LAN and sli isn't supported so that won't make a big difference. And with the mugen the cooling isn't a problem...

Ok well it seems like everything is working now got a 32 bit geek bench score around 9000, didn't wanna buy the program so I didn't get to test 64 bit which is now running :-D video card is running a little slow (20fps) but from what vie read, that's an issue with 10.6.4 so Im not worried about...

Re: Lnx2Mac's Realtek Ethernet Driver - Public Beta Available! Got the kext installed and it works great with x58 ud3r. Sleep works, wake up from sleep, 64 bit is running as far as I can tell it's got no issues Thanks for all the work lnx, Justin

Well thats what i want to do is use 64 bit, but for some reason i am having a hell of a time getting the gfx card running. every time i set graphics enabler=yes, the system kinda freaks out if i install the gtx 285 mac drivers. If i don't touch any settings and just run multibeast i can only get...

Yeah, im still a bit confused by the 32/64 bit thing myself. Haha, i would like to get running in all 64 bit though. one step at a time... I am posting from my freshly built hackintosh though! most everything is running, ethernet, audio, 6 gigs of ram, all harddrives... Graphics are being...

yeah i figure since im still pretty new at this i can start out with smaller stuff, and work my way up. For now i think 6 will be enough and if not ill add another 6 and work from there. besides since a hackintosh cant support 64 bit fully yet, the programs wont fully use over 4 gigs right? As...

oh haha thats just me thinkin to many thoughts at once... I thought I had read somewhere that iBoot supported was the most vanilla of the three. so thats why when you said i could use it i responded with that lol J

yeah i guess that doesnt make a whole lot of sense... sorry! haha i was half asleep when i wrote it. What i meant to say is... while i would like to keep the install vanilla (working right out of the box, correct?) i am willing to do some coding or hacking if i have to. does that make more sense?

Yeah haha I do too! Lol I guess if it doesn't well then I'll learn my lesson lol And thank you, I think I'd like to keep the build as vanilla as possible, but I'm willing to do some work also

Well, just ordered everything and according to newegg and amazon it should all be here in about 3-4 days :D So once i get it all and put it together, i'll probably use iboot-multibeast method. Would i be able to use the iboot supported since im using the i7? it didnt specify so i thought...

I'm also gonna pick up a Scythe Big Shuriken cpu cooler as well as the mugen, because id really like to keep my current case if possible and then the contents of my current case go in the new case... then which ever cooler doesnt fit will go into the new case with what ever parts lol... As for...

thanks lnx i really appreciate your kind words and help. I plan on purchasing it tomorrow or the beginning of this week. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Thanks, Justin

Ok after more research and looking around, i think ive finalized my build. Let me know what you think. Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard CPU: Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor BX80601950 CPU...

Oh shoot, your completely right, haha i just saw the f3 and f4 and didnt even pay attn to the sizes, musta gotten them mixed up when i was writing it... oops lol. Do you have a recommendation for a smaller drive? would a SSD work? last time i checked (been a several months) SSD's didnt work that...

well im still workin on it myself, but i went with G. skill ram, heard a lot of good things. for the video card, the 9800 fanless or the GTS 260 ive heard a lot of good things. i went with the GTX 285 because i tend to play games lol. psu should be fine. as for harddrives, i believe you have to...

The monitor situation is kinda funny. i have all my computers set up in my living room HTPC style. (i love being single!) and therefore i only have the one tv/monitor lol... Ok so i did a bit of a revision of parts thanks to the suggestions here and from other places. -I would like to keep x58...

Hey guys, First post and i'm lookin at building my first hackintosh! I am going to school for film and am needing a good editing computer...(we use Avid at school so i will be using it at home also along with Adobe CS5) I looked at buying a mac pro, but id much rather save money and do a...
