Useful hackintosh tools and aplications

Kext Utility is needed for installing hardware drivers. To install, first copy your  kext file or multiple kexts to /Extra/Extensions or  /System/Library/Extensions/ and than just run Kext Utility, enter your password and thats it, Kext utility will automatically  install kexts.

DSDT Patcher automatically extract and modify your DSDT. You can extract the DSDT that is built in to your motherboard manually, with a command-line tool that comes with OS X. The command ioreg will display the I/O Kit registry, which is more than we need.
DSDT will help in proper injection of hardware in OS X !

Show All Files – OS X hide many important system files from the regular user. Typically, these files are very important, and should not be tinkered with. For advanced users, it is often essential to be able to manipulate these files. With this tool  you can show or hide hidden system files on your mac.

SwitchResX – Find EDID (Extended display identification data) of computer monitor.

Geekbench provides a comprehensive set of benchmarks for quickly and accurately measure processor and memory performance. Check out your hackintosh benchmark score  (32 bit version is free, 64 bit is not free).

CPUTest – Check out your CPU (setting to test: “primenet,” 10 repetitions and 8 instances should result 100% CPU usage in Activity Monitor).
