So it means that I have to build a new hackintosh.....
So , Will this work??
Intel Core i-5 3770k
4 GB DDR3 Ram
GT 610 2GB DDR3
Intel HD 4000 onboard
Adrian , please suggest a good gigabyte motherboard which has uefi and doesn't need a dsdt and one more thing it should support sound....

Which motherboard do you have at the moment for this build? Is it running Mountain Lion OK, but sound is not working? Can you explain the problem better?

Will this work -
GA-Z77X-UP5-TH

And Does it need a dsdt.....Does it have uefi and does audio works without dsdt using just multibeast????

Yes that board is a very good board. It does not require a DSDT as it has a very good built in UEFI bios. Audio working, although some people have reported the black audio port at the rear is better than the green one.


Intel Core i-5 3770k - good choice
4 GB DDR3 Ram - perhaps consider using 8GB
GT 610 2GB DDR3 - Intel HD 4000 is actually slightly better


Do you have a Mac or Hack that you will be able to download Mountain Lion from Apple? The hardware will need to support 10.8 or Apple will not let you download it.

If you do not then you can buy Snow Leopard from apple, update it to 10.6.8, then you will be able to download Mountain Lion.

If you are not using an SSD, then pick a 'system drive'
If you are using an SSD the pick one of the 'storage drives'

and now I'm going to replace that GT610 to GT 640 with some extra money..... IS GT640 better than HD4000???

A GT640 is a much better quality of Graphics card which should suit most users very well. Its a great deal better than a GT610 or Intel HD 4000, and is several times the performance of either as well. Good value for money :)

hmm........One more question Adrian ..... what do Nvidia web drivers , CUDA and PhysX do....???

There is a page here : https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-faq which hopefully points you in the right direction on CUDA.

And a link here for PhysX : https://developer.nvidia.com/technologies/physx

The Nvidia drivers let the GPU run on the operating system with a wide range of software, CUDA and PhysX taylor additional support between the apps, operating system and GPU to get more out of particular software. This can be very important when using a Mac Pro type machine for Graphics intensive tasks. Its not so important if you watch video content, surf the web and use some other less GPU intensive software on a machine.
