i know, that it is not the same thing as building one, but I just wanted to inform you that I bought a Hackintosh from a company in hamburg germany. Pre configured an shipping with OS X Lion.

It arrived today and it is absolutely unbelievable how fast the machine is.

i7 3.2 GHz, 24 GB Ram, PT 10 CPTK

The installation was just as on a normal Mac and everything runs a lot better than on my Quadcore 2.66 Late 2009.

SSL MADI Extreme - working
UAD 2 - working
BMD Intensity Pro - working

All Softube and PSP Plug Ins, Massey Waves and Audioease stuff - working

And everything really fast. Could not make PT crash. Not even with the
make it crash session from protoolsprofessional.com


will keep you updated, if you like.

It is a gigabyte board with ATI 5770 graphics.

Can post some more info if asked for.

I'm not in any connection to the company. This is no commercial. I am just happy.

Was pretty unhappy with my last 2 MacPro's

Each of them lasted nearly exactly 2 years before becoming extremely buggy and unreliable without changing anything. Hope this on will keep me happy a little bit longer. At least my bank account is happy, for it was way cheaper than a new MacPro.

Cheers

Sebastian

Hi all,

Just wondering has anyone this running with PTHD10, PCIX HD4 and Lion?
192I/O Interfaces?

I am thinking of upgrading my G5s but will definitely keep the PCI-X Cards.

Cheers!

Hey jaxfoondi! Im certain your problem has to do with MCDsp plugins. Im certain you have purchased your plugins...but if you have not, then you should remove the MCDSP tdm plugins from your plugins folder. Let me know how that works!

Any ideas? Power management is all turned off ( i.e all the flags to allow the computer to power of idle USB devices...)
