So I have got couple of questions.

Is the install process of Mac OS the same on all machines? The installation process on my system takes around 15 minutes.
I tried creating an image of fresh installation and then recovering it to a different computer.
The recovery process (from SSD to SSD) took about 3 minutes and from there I was able to install bootloader and basic kext.

SO to the questions. Does mac os installation process install exactly the same files/configuration on many different systems?
Am I safe to install MAC OS using restore from image process?

About a year ago I was running 10.7.x on Asus Maximus IV Gene-z/Gen3 with 5870. No issues, minor DSDT edit and perfectly working hackintosh.

Recently I got back into hackintosh (mac os needed for school), but this time using HD3000 graphics. Everything works, speedstep, audio, network, even full resolution graphics.
But... But there are no animation or hovering effect. For example hovering mouse over menu items should highlight selected item, instead I have to click to select it and click again to actually click the item. Dock magnification doesn't seem to work either.

Also tried same setup but with 7970 with 10.8.3 DP Update. Both methods, with and without DSDT injection, yield same result. Working system, full resolution with two monitors. But again no animations, hovering effects and etc.

Is this something related to motherboard? Or what else could it be?

Edit:
I might have been too harsh, but some animations are still there. For example when opening an app, icon jumps on the dock smoothly. Notifications fade in and out perfectly.
