I've had my dual boot running with Windows 7 for a few days now but I've been enjoying OSX so much that I don't think I'll even be needing Windows anymore!
Of note, I wanted to ask you guys about battery life. I haven't done any formal testing but I have noticed what seems like a significant increase in battery life when using Mountain Lion. On Windows I think I was getting around 3 hours but now it appears to be closer to 4. Has anyone done formal tests?

I found a free solution in one of my posts several pages back. It's not a complete solution, as you are likely to still have some washout.
This solution is commercial and I tested it for free. It seems to do better as you have control over the colors and such.

Dear Vikingr,
I had the same Problem with my WiFi Card and the Solution is you have to install airportd from 10.8.3. 10.8.4 brought some new Wifi things so the most Broadcom WiFi cards can only encrypt WEP. But on my Atheros AR2427 it was the same. So just download the attached airportd file and copy it to

usr/libexec/ . Before that you have to enable Hidden Files in the Terminal. You do this with
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
and
killall Finder
now just copy the File and restart your Hackintosh.
Voila your WiFi works now as it should be.

Hey all, I'm in the process of updating my first post to include instructions for updating to 10.8.5. I've also decided to create an "update kit" for my personal use on my Z580, with instructions and kexts, but I'll share it here too.
Sorry for the neglect of this thread!
Users - what kexts and configurations worked for you, or you believe should be included/added?

Flapjack, what differences are there with the i5-3210m model of the Z580 that we need to take into account? Can you summarize your findings and/or send me kexts?

You can do a keyword search on the thread for things like Optimus or Nvidia. There's a drop-down option in the upper righthand corner of each thread box.
I am pretty sure that Optimus will not work. However, Nvidia cards might work. You'll need a kext of some sort, like an "injector" kext. Check out other forums such as osx86.net for more info. Nvidia might have kext you can download too - not sure. Do a search for your nvidia make and model on this forum and on osx86 to see if anyone has gotten the kext to work.
My old 2009 desktop has an Nvidia graphics card, but it wasn't supported. I managed to find an nvidia injector kext to get it working. However, this kext was required in /extra and /system/library/extensions even for my computer to boot up! I think I had to manually use Terminal from the installer USB (or in your case unibeast) to copy the kext to the Extra and SLE folders
