Hi everybody,

I successfully got 10.6.8 up and running on my Hackintosh about a month ago and have been happily using it. It did take two goes, though - I'm not sure what happened the first time.

I have some questions about moving to Lion:

1) Last time I had to install drivers from NVidia for the Quadro range before rebooting. Is this still the case?

2) My MultiBeast setup is as follows: EasyBeast, System Utilities and Chimera. If I install Lion, will this still work? I know that Lion is meant to be 64-bit only so will 32-bit EasyBeast still work?

3) Can I install VoodooHDA using Kext Utility in the same way as I used to?

Thanks

I too, would also like to know about this.
GTX480 support in Lion?
 
Yes, I have been using Daul 480GTX for a while now. There is no issue in Lion as far as I know. Also, Cuda support is pretty descent
 
Nice!!!
Well in that case I am very happy to have purchased the MSI GTX480 Lightning. I can't wait to see how fast I can OC it and dual boot into Win7 for gaming, as well as have the full support in Lion for it too.

Just to have my bases covered when the new card arrives, which tweaks *(if any?) did you have to go with in order to get Lion to work with your GTX480?

And did you have to swap out a separate video card during the install process at all?

I am not going to be going with SLI for the time being either, if that's important.

Thanks,
