Ya, I figured that was your skill level.
Seriously its a peace of cake to do the patch
Then why did you lie about it?
it makes the machine unstable
Another lie? You're the only one I've heard this from. Of course I've only read 15 or so folks who have done it. They all claimed it worked fine without issue. One guy had the 10.8.3 update cause a little trouble but I think that was solved by downloading the combo updater IIRC.
for crying out load its a hacked kernel !!!
Incorrect. It's not a hacked kernel. It's the normal kernel from what I understand. The loader just loads it instead of the ROM based one. You could barely even call it a "hack" if you were being honest.
IT makes the machine unstable !
You said that already. I didn't believe you the first time either.
Nothing is.
FYI you have no clue where I´m working . but its way higher in the food chain that you can ever EVER imagine.
Ah, Wendy's it is then OK.
LOL Maybe I make more $$$ a week then you make in a month so dont even go there . Learn to deal with criticism. And deal with fact. And maybe learn one or two things about Karma !
I don't believe you here either. No one normal starts yelling about how much they make and tries to use that as a basis for credibility. Also it's not about criticism - you're just wrong is all. I have that machine's little brother - the 2.66 8-core w/32GB RAM and 12TB RAID0 + 6TB RAID0, GTX 570 - and use it 12 to 16 hours every day - it runs 24/7 even so.
I use it for rendering occasional CG, processing and editing about 1,000 16mpx
RAW images per month, compositing video FX, editing multiple streams of 1080p24 video, and playing games including but not limited to: Borderlands II, Diablo III, Call Of Duty 4, CounterStrike G.O., Dirt II, Starcraft II, QuakeLive, and The Wicher II)
And I did all of that on the 8800GT before I got the GTX 570 and everything was just fine with the sole exception of The Wicher II. Well, and sometimes FX+multiple video streams lagged a little in some editors - But adding the $90 GTX 570 cured all that. For what I do with it this machine trounces the newest MacMini and according to several users here the 3GHz version the OP is asking about, is faster than the newest iMac as well. It's roughly the same speed as the as the MP3,1 (2.8GHz). And in the configuration the OP posted it typically sells for $850 to $900. Every once in awhile someone here claims to get a striped down version (4GB RAM and 7300GS) for between $400 and $600 but I take it those are fairly rare and get snapped up soon (because they're way worth it!). Thus for sure, $800 for one with 20GB of RAM and eight 3GHz cores is a good deal. Heck, he could sell the RAM for $450, the CPUs for $100 each, the GPU for $50, and keep the case, MB, KB/Mouse, ODD, PSU, HDD and etc. for just about free.
