I have a GTX660 that I can carry over that is supported by Nvidia's mac drivers. Will possibly be adding 2 more displays (720p60, 480p60). I have a TON of monitors that I need supported.Ĥx VGA connections (only 2 running at any one time)Ģx HDMI (1 1080p, 1 4K 30hz) (only 1 running at any one time) The two drives are mirrored for eachother. The 4x SSD drives backup daily to the raid array. So I have to be careful to walk the line with what hardware is "sanctioned." My MBP "just works" with all the operating systems and software playing perfectly. So hackintosh type setups are totally out of the running. The creative work requires high levels of compatibility and I really don't have time to play geek anymore. When I am in OSX, I'm either tooling around with linux distros or doing creative work. Machine gets a lot of varied use, but the stuff that I'm concerned about would be compatibility with FCP, Logic, Adobe etc. And with that I have a pretty beastly workstation I'm "replacing." A lot of the stuff I can carry over. I've decided to try to convert my PC setup with a hotrodded 4.1 (w/ 5.1 FW) dual processor setup with 32gb of ram, flashed graphics cards and non-apple drives. The trouble was always OSX compatibility for hackintoshes. Being able to effortlessly use OSX, Windows & Linux in one sweeping motion is somewhat of a geek fantasy I've had for a while. When in OSX I have access to and use Windows applications through Parallels as well as linux images in Parallels VM. On my laptop I run a dual boot setup where I log into Windows 7 Pro for gaming & heavy business use and OSX for general use. I did ultimately buy all the parts for a PC that was totally compatible but never bothered after reading the amount of effort put into ensuring compatibility and upgrades.Īfter purchasing a MBP(late13) Retina I've begun to appreciate the high level of support for Apple hardware (as far as software). Long time PC guy here that a while back was going to, but ultimately abandoned building a hackintosh.
