#DASBOOT DISKWARRIOR INSTALL#

On a hunch, I ran Disk Warrior 5 on the early 2008 Mac Pro. Not slow enough to bog the machine down, but noticeable as I was working through my everyday tasks, nonetheless. (For what it’s worth, I have no immediate plans to upgrade the Hackintosh to El Capitan for at least a few more months because it will require a bit more effort than on a traditional Mac.)Īnyway, getting back to the issue at hand: my early 2008 Mac Pro on El Capitan was noticeably slower than it was before. I create all my comics, illustration and design work using the Hackintosh, and save off all my source files directly onto a hard drive volume on my Mac Pro. I let the problems slide because I use my newly built Hackintosh (CustoMac) as my main production machine. With this approach, I didn’t encounter any OS problems, but I did notice that both my Macs weren’t running as fast as they normally should.

I performed in-place upgrades from Yosemite to El Capitan on both Macs, eschewing the Clean Install option to save time. Generally, El Capitan has worked without any crashing or other odd behavior. I’ve been running the betas on both mid-2015 Macbook Pro and early 2008 Mac Pro for a few months now. I have third party utilities that mimic much of what El Capitan already offers, so the upgrade for me was more about improved stability. In terms of the few new features that were added to the latest incarnation of OS X, I don’t really use them. I haven’t written much about El Capitan since its official release last week because (truthfully) there really wasn’t anything interesting for me to write about.
