ok good news and bad news. because i didnt want to erase the hard drive completely because of my time machine and CCC partitions i just did a CCC restore because of what you said about how it could be chimera, anyways, after the restore i booted from my ###### usb and got into lion. I ran geekbench, cinebench, and ungine again. geekbench score went up by 1000, cinebench is at 41 fps, and ungine is running at about 30 fps. So happy.

restarted the comp however and now it automatically boots into windows. even when i hit f12 and choose the os x hard drive it boots into windows. Booted off the usb again and ran the chimera stand alone installer 1.9.2 i believe, same thing. Ran muiltibeast and chose some settings.... same thing. I have no idea whats going on when it used to take me to the menu first......

someone suggested that i use chimera instead of chameleon, however i cant just run the chimera install either stanalone or through ###### just to get it working. do i need to do a fresh install?? or can i edit the efi partition to get it going? the reason being that chimera works much better with nvidia cards supposedly.

i have ethernet built in. heres mine

i just made a bootable backup with carbon copy cloner. and i got time machine going as we speak. its always something hahaha. cant wait til everything is working great
=

yeah my facebook link started working again, it wouldnt let me in for like 2 days straight. weird anyways, im getting unrecognized apple id or password in red, and unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with icloud from the drop down. as for the 570 hd, ive been doing research for a few hours now and there are a few things i havent tried but they involve text edits, hex edits, and random kexts, and i can tell you right now what will happen... ill end up tinkering and ill get no video or something and ill be kicking myself in the ass for not leaving it alone

yeah i just ran ungine, and im getting 4.4 fps. something is definately wrong. especially with a 13000+ geekbench score

ok. 570 HD superclocked ftw model from evga bought, installed, and running. I have a feeling something is not set up correctly as it doesnt look as good as the 6870 hd on the mac side, but this little guy runs cooler, quieter, and is an absolute BEAST on the windows side. i installed openCL through ######, and cuda 4.2.7 stable build. Anyone know if i am missing something? Since my mac side is to run logic, apps, and surf the internet, i can totally live with it, but if anyone knows any tweaks, im down to try. Id really really like to thank TH3L4UGH1NGM4N, and eep357. You guys actually responded, helped me make my decision, and guide me to boot. I totally appreciate it! I exchanged my power supply, and case as well today and i couldnt be happier with my setup. This machine is perfect in my eyes, and totally stable except for icloud and sleep issues.....
