Hi again!!, I have done it!! my first Hackintosh... Thank all of you very much for the guides (CustoMac, MultiBeast, UniBeast, and GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH Mountain Lion 10.8!!!) I will try to work out the little problems I still have with bluetooth and turn off/restart

Donation made to appreciate your effort... And now seems to be working the turn off option.... jajaja

Just one question, why would you want to use a six year old graphics card?

No, you can't.

I'm really surprised, I've asked someone who posted a User's build if I could use Snow Leopard on his build (Z77 DS3H + i3-2100) and he answered yes...
Do you mean Snow Leopard will not run on a Z77 or is it because of the processor?
I'm getting more and more confused...

Do you suggest for all of us audio pro users needing 10.6 that it would be better to stick to an old build such as Z68+i3-2125 instead of the Z77+i3-3225 I was planning to build???
Thank you again for noob clarifications.

10.6 is not and never was compatible with Ivy Bridge/Z77, there's no kernel support for the CPU and you wouldn't get features like power management. Even for 10.7 you'd need 10.7.4 for it to work.
