@alectroniq dont the company is screwed no more updates and it steals the code directly from the chameleon bootloade rif you want a hackintosh for free search chameleon and the best version of it in my opinion is the aserebln booter but research its a great community and ive had a stable constantly updateing "mac" for 18 months now with no problems what so ever
Like mischatf and ra687 said, all the EFIX really is is a usb thumbstick internals inside a thin box with a bootloader on it
And thats why they have you plug it into the internal usb connector.. to deceive you from thinking its something simple like a normal thumbstick
Nothing more than a usb thumbstick with a bootloader just like the one found on osx86 distros and a few patches.. thats also why its hardware specific... because it has them patches for the hardware it tells you to get
Efi-X is a chip that is plugged into the usb core..... it allows you to run linux, windows or mac....... SO LONG AS YOU HAVE THE ACTUAL SOFTWARE ON DISK OR FILE
can you use any specs on it? i'm getting intel core i7 Quad processor on 2,8ghz, 8gb of ram, around 1,5 TB HDD and a 1gb video card and of course a motherboard compatible with them.. should i be able to use it?
nice vid but why go through all of this trouble and still use a mighty mouse?!?! ;) I have a MBP and the first thing I did was buy a blue2th mouse, since I use it dual screen as my desktop.
It creates an EFI environment and lets pc hardware boot,run and upgrade mac software(you need an OSX disk to install still)
Macs use EFI... its called EFIX because it "fixes" EFI issues that is the main cause osx wont run and upgrade on hackintoshs pc's unless very very specific hardware is used
This makes hackinintosh building very easy if you buy the right hardware but all in all you'll still only get the peformance of a fast imac even with high end pc hardware
you bought all that just to built a mac...hell you could of gotten a mac for that price dork!!! damn...that does'nt make sense..it crazy cuz you could get a mac for 850 for real!!!
where the hell can you get a mac that good for 850. Not disagreeing with you he did spend way to much. but a mac mini is 600. anything else starts at 2500 for desktops
Efi-x is for noobs that doesn't know how to use boot-132 cd to boot you Retail DVD. That's free and much much faster. My benchmarks are: Geekbench: 8613 XBench (with disk): 427 Specs: - MSI P965 Neo -f V2 - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - 2GB Kingston ValueRam 800Mhz - NVidia Geforce 8400GS - Disk: Software RAID 5 x Samsung EcoGreen F1 DT HD103UI (U can't with EFI-x, only boot-132) Monitor: Philips 24" Display Total costs: $ 750
@c0rk007hck At some stage in your life, you were a noob as well. Feel better about yourself by demeaning someone else? Didn't get enough hugs and love from your parents when you were a child? Poor guy.
efix is a scam ripping off developers work and charging for it

you realize EFiX is overpriced rebranded open source OSx86 firmware on a thumbdrive right?
You payed 280 dollars for something thats free. Hows it feel to be scammed out of 300 dollars?

Final Cut Runs, but has some weird delay when scrubbing the timeline. No idea what causes this, but it works nevertheless.
Premiere Pro CS4 does run, but crashes when I import ProRes files. Original Mac Pro works OK, so something isn't the same on the hackintosh!
