Hello,

 

i'm building a new system and was wondering if it could be possible to clone OSX Lion

from my old build on to a ssd and use it in my new build? Or should i just do a clean install?

 

Old build: Mobo: P35-DS3P, CPU: E6750 and GPU: GTX260

New build: Mobo: Z68MX, CPU: i5 2500K and GPU: HD6870

 

I know DSDT.aml will be different

Maybe SMBIOS.plist will be different

all the kexts specific for the old build?

 

What more do i need to remove/swap

 

could someone help my with this?

 

thanks

Do a clean build - there is nothing to be gained from cloning then trying to work out which old modified kexts are causing you problems.

okidoki, will do a clean install thanks for the input.

 

got another question:

 

is it possible to deactivate my HD6870 in osx and only use the integrated graphics from my cpu in osx?

i only want to use my HD6870 in windows as it is for gaming.

 

hope someone can help me?

 

thanks
