Ok, system upgraded to 10.8.4 without problems.
If you are on 10.8.3 or earlier, you can update securely following these steps:
This is what I did to install 10.8.4 and to have the same good functionality as 10.8.2 but with a better overall performance:
1 - In 10.8.3 or earlier, open the Terminal and paste this command:
2 - Then paste this command:
3 - If you didn't receive any errors, you can skip this step and the next one, so you can continue from step 5. But if you receive some errors concerning one or more kext files, go to ~system/library/extensions and delete the offending kexts.
4 - Paste again in the Terminal the two commands listed above. Now you should not receive any errors.
5 - Update the system to 10.8.4 using combo update. The installation should now finish ok without errors. Don't restart the system yet.
6 - Go to /system/library/extensions and delete the following kext: AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext (if the file does not exist, it is ok too.)
7 - If you were using a custom AppleACPIPlatform.kext for the system to boot faster, then you should replace the file again. For 10.8.4 you can use the file attached on this post. You can install the kext using Kext Utility.
8 - Use Kext Utility to update cache and repair permissions. You can use Disk Utility too if you prefer.
9 - Reboot the system. Now it should boot without problems, and you are on 10.8.4
10 - If you were on 10.8.3 and you were using nvidia latest drivers for 10.8.3, you should receive an error saying that the drivers are not compatible with the system, and that the OS X default drivers are loaded. No problem with that.
11 - Check if the audio is working. If it's not, you need to install the proper kexts again for the audio.
12 - If you want to activate OpenCL support you need to paste this code in the terminal (even if you applied this before, since the patch were erased with the update):
Done.
If you want to get rid of the random freezes, you can try the patch located here, named freeze fix app: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-...ermi-freeze-back-latest-drivers-10-8-3-a.html
