Default Re: Why yes, this is the successful Hackintosh build thread!

Actually, jailbreaking was explicitly decided to count as fair use not too long ago.

Since all you're doing is jailbreaking software, that specification, at least, of the EULA is on questionable ground……if someone with enough money for a good enough layer decides to fight it. But…Apple won't prosecute in any way (in civil court or under software piracy laws) because the supreme court has a track record of being anti-EULA. They struck down broken-seal EULAs not ridiculously long ago.

It's kind of like how Abortion is illegal in a few places because no one wants to take the laws to court right now for fear of the supreme court reversing roe v. wade.

So, let's stop this completely unproductive discussion and get back to me wondering if there are any motherboards out there that will actually give performance as good as the 2010 mac pros. Their geek bench scores are >20,000 with some of the better hackintoshes seeming to come in around half that, and the difference seems to be single quad-core i7s vs. a pair of 6-core Xenons.
