Besides my AMD leo box (Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4) which is working just great, i'd like to build one more leopard box (for work mostly) and Intel based. I'd like to go as close to org. apple as possibe, EFI/Vanilla, etc. I dont have big…

Recently i found mouse lags in iTunes 8.0.2 and QuickTime 7.5.5. I noticed it first with iTunes, mouse lags appear only if app. is launched (when its closed there is no problems), so i downgraded itunes to v7.7 (from 10.5.4 dvd) and lag is…

What are your thoughts guys about this video card, hd 3650 256MB ddr3? Maybe someone has it, so how's the support in OSX and your experience. My 8600GT died so i replaced it with weaker 8500GT, it works flawlessly in OSX with native…

“What distro did your place on your USB ? There are no kexts for your chipset one the USB, you have to inject them first so the installer can see your internat Sata/Ide drives.”
