So does this mean one of these ultra low cost Intel Cards will work in a Dell Optiplex 9010/9020 USFF ?

You can set that up via System Preferences. I run a very spartan setup for my Pro Tools/VSL machine:

Perfect, thanks @jiffyslot!

A friend updated to the latest Clover (without consulting me) and all hell broke loose. He can't get past this screen. Any ideas?

If they are running Big Sur, it's probably time to make the switch to OpenCore. Clover will only become more problematic as time goes on.

Mojave. I've been doing some reading on Open Core for a few days now. Thinking about switching. Stability is paramount. Using for Audio Production work and Thunderbolt and good CPU power management are non-negotiables. Don't want to rush into something I don't yet understand.

They should have a backup of the previous Clover EFI folder that they were using. Simply go back to that. If they were wise enough to make a bootable clone before updating Clover that is the other option. There is of course, a CaseySJ mini-guide for that. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...9700k-amd-rx-580.267551/page-881#post-2018771

I hear ya': The only reason I'm still running Mojave now is to run CS6 and LR4. Big Sur is working well for Logic, Pro Tools, UAD, Slate Drums, Waves, and VSL. -BS is my secondary system. When Adobe brings back "Auto Advance" to Lightroom, I may upgrade.

Please see the CCC backup mini-guide found in the Quick Reference spoiler. As explained there, we need to add EFIClone.sh as a post-backup task.

Thank you @CaseySJ !

I missed that guide! I will check it now.

Yes, it was actually resolved by Highpoint support. I posted their updated driver shortly after that post. I issue appears to be resolved in current versions

Awesome, and thanks for letting me (us) know!

Everything except for Continuity and Handoff ?

I’m having a 9020 USFF so this looks promising I’ll dig in a bit further with @trs96 his guidance since I’m still a bit unsure on the antennas. But that’s another topic and we’re not hijacking this one ;-)
