yeah, that's what I thought, as far as I have read my GeFOrce 650 should also work, plus my 8 of ram. maybe it is the hard drive, I am trying to install in a toshiba spin drive, I only have one ssd, which is the one I am using with 10.8.5 now, I just dont want to attempt an install on the ssd unless I know I can have something stable for work.
I thought of cloning my current installation (10.8.5) on the spin drive and attempt an install on the ssd directly, but I dont see why my spin drive would be the problem since it is new, and I was able to install mavericks on it without issues.
