Firechild Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 After the installation ( leo4all V2 )everything except LAN worked out of the box, I then bought the Netgear GA311 Gigabit ethernet which solved the problem and the computer scored 200.33 with the xbench.com test. I installed 3 more HD:s which one was a PATA on the JMicron chipset, everyone was found and running fast! I installed a PCIe TI firewire card so I had two seperate FW channels,( built in and PCIe card). I installed 2 Universal Audio UAD1 PCI cards and connected a TC Electronic Powercore FW unit. Everything worked perfectly and I managed to run 21 tracks on this simple Logic 8 benchmarktest. www.evan.se/logicprobenchmark ( you unmute tracks one by one ) Which is the same results as 4 cores MacPros. I was capable of using 87 percent of my UAD cards without affecting the CPU and at the same time driving a lot of reverbs on the Powercore. My machine is recognized as a macPro 3.1. The great thing with this Hackintoch is that it is equivalent to a 4 core MacPro BUT is capable to use the older PCI cards! Great for musicians! Specs. Q6600@3Ghz, ASUS P5K, 4 Gb Kingston, Club3 ATI 2600 HD Pro, Western Digital HD:s,Netgear GA311 ethernetcard,PCIe Firewirecard TI chipset, 2 UAD1 DSP cards,Powercore Fw,MOTU 896HD,Emagic AMT8 midi interface.
