shaanky98 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 who cares at this point. it's cool it's in the works. why get all worked up. NO RELEASE DATE, NO PRICING, hell the website aint even finished. what is wrong with the hackintosh you got right now? now im suppose to uninstall a perfectly working os just cause some stick comes out? Id rather stick with Kalyway, it's free, works great, and apple can't do a damn thing to stop it. Thats a very good point m8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 how come that non efi video card like nvidia 8800, works with this solution, without patching? in a real mac, a non mac geforce 8800 wouldn't work either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poco Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If they ever did manage to find their way to Canada I would maybe get one for fun but I run all that I need right now so I don't really feel the need to get one. As long as I can run XCode and the iPhone SDK I'm fine with what I have now. iPoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poco Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Is it really worth paying international shipping for it? Ebay could very well have one during the next while... I know I would buy it then... iPoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titooo Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 80€... Hope it worth it.... Anyway what version of efi-x cost that amount? EFiX USB V1 / V2 or EFiX USB Ultimate (USB Hub, Sound, Bluetooth)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derailed_spark Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 80 Euro ? That's the price of a good mobo, hdd or cpu. All that for what ? For a device that is not guaranteed to work with Apple's next releases ? Plus this thing is much less compatible then pc efi. At least the pc efi software solution can be modified and adapted as needed in case Apple decides to break our installs , but this device guarantees nothing. I think the only hardware needed to be broght so OSX will work better , is a brand new iMac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknojunkie Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 80 euros damn, that better be for the ultimate version, I thought this thing would cost at least $30 max $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaithis Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 80 Euros!! Better off spending that on increasing the performance of your Hackintosh instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless2k Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 80 euros? Well this is not exactly what I would understand as a cheap device for everyone. Since it is not know how future proof this device is - you need to know if you got 80€ for a short intermezzo. The difference why DPSC's sell so good at this price range is simply: DPSC's got a massmarket. Anyway congrats to that hard work, looking forward to testing an EFI-X device with an ASUS MoBo...

Detosx Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Wow, eighty Euros is a lot more than I expected. On the other hand, they have development costs to recoup and so on. I would imagine it will come down in price, unless they get greedy in which case they won't sell as many as they otherwise would or have the sales generating sympathy of the community. For eighty euros I can do a major hardware upgrade, or put the money toward a Mac. With a minor software update Apple could innocently render this thing useless. Worth the gamble at price?

iSkylla Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think I'll stick with my almost completely compatible Gigabyte DS3L. If you really want 100% compatibility, get a DS3R or DS4 and you'll be set and for just about the same money as this device. I certainly won't buy it for 80 euros.

macita Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Well Again this APple software update thing? MAybe you guys dont understand that this EFI is firmware upgradeable.... The big question is what really this device will do it, better then PC efi / chameleon? Lets some people test it then i will decide... Anyway 80 euros are too much... i was think 30 for the low entry efi-x, considerate that if i bought those compatible mobos cpu gpu that are in the HCL i can run WITHOUT PROBLEMS A PATCHED RETAIL DVD!!!!!

titooo Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 macita, we understand that it's EFI firmware upgradeable, which easily could also means don't updgrade to 10.5.4 until we upgrade the firmware or you'll break your system. So easily it can be as using Kalyway: don't upgrade until we release the comboupdate... Anyway it could be useful for those that have motherboards which audio chipsets don't work yet or don't work fully (4 example headphones volume too low or things like that). I assume 80€ is for the Ultimate version (3 usb ports, audio card and bluetooth). I still hope the basic one is around 30 meanwhile the deluxe aroudn 50€. The laptops version would be expensive for sure Another things that disturb me is that they say everythign isn't ready yet cuz some idiots broke the server ot attempted to hack it or whatever. Why don't put that new on the homepage of efi-x at least? Firstly they talked about sabotage, now that. What are they trying to build nuclear weapons in a usb stick??? Is the CIA behind them? hahahaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
