hello! my perfectly working Hackintosh has the following specs:
Case Miditower ATX - CoolMaster 500 W Silent Pro 80 Plus
ASUS P8P67-EVO
INTEL Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz
RAM 16 GB DDR3 PATRIOT 1600 MHZ
Video Card ATi HD6450 2 GB DDR2 PCI-E HDMI / DVI-I / VGA (i need and use 2 monitors)
DVD 24X Dual Layer S/ATA
1 SSD OCZ VErtex2 SATAII 120GB - 1 WD Cavier Green 500GB - 1 WD Cavier Green 1TB
i'm now on Lion 10.7.5 but i would really need to upgrade to Mountain Lion...
the problem is that wasn't able to do this because of my video card (AtiHD6450)....i could never make the installer work and i read about incopatibility issues with ati 6xxx
my question for you is: should i change my video card and be able to upgrade then? i read the buyers guides but i'm not at all into graphic cards, so i don't know what to choose.
i use my computer as a Digital Audio Workstation with Logic, Nuendo, Sibelius, so i'm not a gamer or anything, and i might add that i'm perfectly happy with the performance of my hackintosh (it's extremely quiet and silent and never heats up too much), i just need to be able to install Mountain Lion
i hope anyone can be kind enough to help me.
all the best and thanks in advance
