ptesone Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 So I just bought a retail Snow Leopard DVD from Amazon.com (free shipping) for $29.00 and re-installed my AMD hackintosh system and it is screaming fast- I mean it flat out get's it on, and after a failed update to 10.6.7 (kp'd) and a re-re-install I'm wondering if it's even worth the trouble. i don't use App store, and I don't think I really benefit from the updates anyway. . . thoughts? opinions??

Administrators Bronxteck Posted April 10, 2011 Administrators Share Posted April 10, 2011 you probably need to find a 10.6.7 kernel that works for amd... but you can always go by the old adage. "If it aint broke don't fix it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: the reason I opt to update was cos Angry Birds won't play on anything less than 10.6.6. And after the update my machine is still flying! I think it was I had done a .mpkg install before maybe. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
