EFI-X to tonym newb issues
Hello fellow EULA violators ;-)
I chose this weekend to get off the EFI-X train. I have had reasonable success with the Tony resources. I sacrificed a few things for the cause. My main reason for leaving EFI-X behind even though I had great stability was to get on Mountain Lion without springing for another $300 EFI-X dongle.
Notes:
My OCZ SSD flat failed to work after running Multibeast and after reading about issues with OCZ on ML I ditched it for now
My Desktop disk icons have changed from the defaults to orange ones. The others seem to have remained the same.
My 888 audio chip sort of worked but had enough issues I turned it off in BIOS and went back to a cheap USB audio dongle I had in the drawer. It was filling the log with errors and the main output was filled with white noise. I had to use the "rear" output to get audio with 888. I did not look at trying the Voodoo stuff.
I bought a generic NEC based USB3 card and it works with the MB rollback BUT drops the mount under heavy IO. This seems to be a common issue with these and I don't have Windows handy to update the firmware. I may exchange it for a different NEC based card and hope for better results. I tried the Lacie drivers but that stopped it mounting altogether. The attached lof shows the Lacie, not the rollback. edit: It seems like the kext files posted by hackmytosh12 near the end of this thread http://goo.gl/0muaT gave me a working USB3 interface.
My D-Link Bluetooth dongle was impossible with my Magic Trackpad. I looked for the IOGear locally to get BT4 but all I could find was the Rocketfish. No BT4 but the other problems went away. I may still try one at some point. I am curious what the feature comparison is.
Apple System Profiler reports that 1 of my 3 DIMM's are 400mhz. I am hoping this is actually just a glitch and not in fact true. I swapped the DIMM's and the same socket reports the numbers. The BIOS looks uniform across all 4 sockets. I am not doing any fancy overclocking and in fact started out underclocking. My Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3 was just repaired by them after it died so it could also be it has a problem they missed. They didn't even update the firmware.
