The 2gb of ram on that card is basically useless and for what it costs, you could get a 570 which will be significantly faster and better for your purposes.

This 570 is $10 cheaper or the same price after the rebate on the other card and there's no waiting 8 weeks after the excessively complicated and obnoxious procedure for claiming the rebate.

An amount of ram above stock (1gb for a 560) is just a marketing ploy to get you to spend more money.

Actually, ML seems to be a significant overall improvement for hackintoshing. There's a LOT better support for a lot of things.
