DaveVegas Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hey guys, I've recently upgraded my hackintosh to 24GB Ram, and core i7 3.2ghz 960 from 12gb ram and core i7 2.8ghz 920. I arranged everything for a clean new vanilla install, but I accidentaly bootet up the computer. What did I saw? Everything worked perfectly! I didn't even had to change the dsdt from 920 to 960. It just worked. I'm running my hackintosh now since a few days and it's stable like a rock. Is that normal? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaap Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yes. Upgrading RAM shouldn't be any different than it would be in a real Mac. I can't imagine having to reinstall OSX just because you added RAM to a system, that'd be ridiculous. Upgrading the CPU actually isn't too much different, unless (possibly) you had some custom DSDT fixes for a specific CPU going on. Video cards upgrades often go without a hitch too- at worst just requiring some driver fixing/reinstalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirloui Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 24GB ram?? How do you manage to exploit that? I have 8GB and they barelly fill when running 3D rendering, all Adobe apps + bunch of small apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm editing red raw files on premiere pro at full 4K resolution and with that amount of ram I can work better because the computer doesn't have to store the caches anywhere. Thanks for the answers!
