boot plist flags, put it

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

but for the npci, just replace the existing one which is 0x2000 to 0x3000

I don't know if this can end up killing my graphics card but earlier today I had a graphics spasm in my Mac things started changing blocky colors. This happened on my Snow Leopard side too and than the next thing I remember is my gtx 470 being dead and the company being nice enough to send me another gtx 570.

I never told them that could have been the reason my gtx 470 had died. Could have all been coincidence but I just have to ask does anyone know if Hackintosh can actually harm you graphics card over time? I don't see why it would, but that graphics spasm thing I have had happened to me rarely happens. It has only happened twice to me. Once on Snow Leopard, (Next thing I know my gtx 470 is dead, could have been coincidence tho) and than now it has happened to me with my gtx 570 earlier yesterday actually since its 2 am now. I would say it did it about maybe like 4pm yesterday. I had to end up shutting my Mac down the incorrect way because the blockyness just went everywheres.

Seriously? Your card ended up dead? I also happen to have kinda like experience while using my hd5770. I guess its already dead now since it would only display during boot but wont even reach into the desktop. Or maybe just another coincidence! haha

*shrugs*

My 5670 isn't dead yet!

The only way I can see OS X in particular damaging a graphics card is if it somehow overclocked it by accident. (or by default)

Yeah it ended up dead, it was making weird lines when I booted up into Windows that wouldn't go away. I never told the company this because if I told them that they probably wouldn't have supported their warranty.

I don't overclock my graphics cards. A gtx 470 maxed out almost every game with the exception of Metro2033. Now my gtx 570 maxes out everything at 1920x1200 resolution.

I meant the unlikely idea of the OS X driver accidentally overclocking it. (By the way, I don't either.)

Some reason my flash acts up slowly at times on Google Chrome browser(sadly this my favorite browser). Does anyone know of a good or possibly better browser than Chrome for OSX? Is Camino a good one? I really don't want to change browsers but something is off about Google Chrome which is a shame since I like how Google Chrome looks.
