Lord Anubis Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi, How do you know how to choose the right mac model id for a GB haswell mobo, like imac x.x or macpro x.x? Thnx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291903-how-to-choose-the-right-mac-id-like-imac-131/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Goa'ulds here? Hehehe... I suppose only Mac models that use 4th gen Core-i hardware would be appropriate. AFAIK, only the new MBA falls in this category. All the best!

Lord Anubis Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 I did get rid of those fake windowz systemlords, btw I'am no longer a goa'uld. Because the ancients where using mac's, and I have a part of theire knowledge and have experience with cloning I will build Hackintoshes. ;-) Anyway, I thought the ID was depending on the devices at or connected to the motherboard. Am I wrong? LA Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291903-how-to-choose-the-right-mac-id-like-imac-131/#findComment-1946015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 IMO the ID should be based upon hardware possessed and/or OS X version to be installed/used. Each version of OS X has a limited set of hardware supported, hence the ID is used by OS X installed to know if the target machine would be compatible. As for the hardware, a combination of chipset/CPU/GPU/form factor (notebook, desktop etc.). Find the most similar (by components used) Apple computer and use that ID. Other thing to note that some applications and/or drivers (Nvidia drivers and Cuda) will only install to certain Mac models.
