AMD R9 2xx Series GPU Hackintosh

Today I have spent the day testing out the new R9 2xx Series graphics cards, and to my surprise they work perfectly OOB (Out of the Box). What more could you ask for? I tested the Gigabyte 270x, 280x and 290x. The only one that I had issues with was the 290x. I'm really hoping to get this working as soon as possible. I ran the 270x and the 280x through a triple monitor set-up and they work seamlessly. The build I used was my personal build with the i7 3930k OC @ 4.8GHz, 16GB 2133MHz ram, GA-X79-UP4 and a 240GB SSD.

This is great news for new customers looking to purchase a build as we all know that the AMD card are better value for the dollar.  

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, your business will be greatly appreciated. If you want to get in contact please call Robertson Design Technology Melbourne

6 Core Mac Pro Hackintosh

The parts are here for my Mac Pro Hackintosh. This is a showcasing build that will show Mac OS X Mavericks running on the Intel 3930K 6-Core CPU (Which of course will be Overclocked). I choose the simple yet awesome motherboard - Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4. I willl be testing this with the AMD R9 290X (Watercooled) and 32GB 2133MHz Ram. 

Stay Tuned to see how the build comes along.

Updating Your Mavericks to 10.9.1

The original installation media for Mac OS X Snow Leopard was a 10.6 DVD. The DVD was only updated once to version 10.6.3. In order to provide more frequent updates to users, Apple is now slipstreaming the latest version of OS X directly into the download. Upon fresh installation, no updating is necessary!

If you downloaded Mavericks from the App Store prior to December 16, 2013, you most likely have 10.9. To re-download Mavericks and update your Installation App to 10.9.1, simply log into the Mac App Store and click Download. When the download finishes, the app will automatically open. The updated 10.9.1 Install OS X Mavericks App can be found in the Applications folder. You can then re-create your UniBeast installation USB.

The New Mac Pro 2013

The Mac Pro is finally here!! 

But at a very high cost. Here in Australia we are looking at spending $12,091.21 For a Mac Pro with 12-Core 2.7GHZ 30mb L3 Cache, 64GB 1866MHz Ram, 1TB Pci-e SSD and of course the dual AMD FirePro d7000 6GB V-Ram.

  If you are willing to spend this much, I would say get it. They're a great platform to work on and powerful. But still their lack of customisation is a big downfall. Yes the new design is small and looks pretty, but is it completely practical?

I see that it can be great if all you buy is from Apple, but what happens when you need to attach more extensions into the I/O? I would love to get my hands on one of these. If anyone is feeling generous and wants to donate, please do. 

I would love to do a comparison to my current Hackintosh to the New MacPro.
