Hi, I have a GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB MB, currently I'm using the manufactured installed Bios and my PC is working fine. I was thinking of building a hackintosh using ML 10.82, is there any benefit in updating the Bios to F14 or will the system work fine using the bios that came with the UD5H-WB?
As well, in order to save costs I don't have a graphics card and have been using the onboard GPU HD4000 (i7 3770), will the HD4000 work on a hackintosh or do I need to do something to get the system up and working? I have heard I can get it up and working using Chimera, but a lot of terms have been thrown around recently, Unibeast, Multibeast, Chimera, Chameleon and so on, which is a little over whelming. If I understand things right, Unibeast is to help me install ML onto my USB Key, Multibeast is to help me setup ML on my SDD, but what is Chimera, how and when do you use it? As well, how do I properly format my SSD for MAC and can I do this on my PC, same with using Unibeast to format my USB Key? Any info and help would be great.
Thanks.
