Hackintosh Mountain Lion Upgrade

Posted on 20th July 2012

As the impending release of OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion is near, it is also time to make sure that we are ready to install Apple’s new OS onto our custom Intel hardware. We will cover the in-place upgrade from OSX Lion 10.7.4 to the GM(Final) release of OSX Mountain Lion.

This procedure has been confirmed to work with the official release of Mountain Lion in the App Store.

A clean install of Mountain Lion will not be covered in this article, but you can refer to this site which will walk you through a clean install. A clean install is great if you want to start from scratch, but for the rest of us with a lot of data, read on.

Tonymacx86 has released Unibeast for Mountain Lion which can be used to perform a clean install.

Intel i5 “Sandy Bridge” OSX Lion Install on Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3

Posted on 21st January 2012

I came to a point where I felt that my simple Intel e2200 Hackintosh system was in need of an upgrade. I had been wanting to look into building either an i5 or i7 Sandy Bridge system. When a local retailer decided to put the i5-2600k and i7-2600k on sale, I could not resist the temptation and found myself researching for the perfect motherboard.

Here, I will outline the software build from start to finish, and show how easy it is to build a i5 Sandy Bridge Hackintosh with OSx Lion.
