sg Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 the reported memory in about this mac is simply cosmetic. you can verify how much you actually have by running opengl view and checking the reports tab or whatever : http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 can you take a screenshot of the error? hit the following keys at the same time to take a screenshot, it will show up on your desktop: command shift 3 (command is probably your windows key) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 you're going to need to get a new 'AppleSMBIOS.kext', you can get one from netkas or one from macdotnub. here's macdotnub's site http://my.macdotnub.info/content/view/19/26/ in the 'downloads' section, get the second or third one (whatever matches your ram, again it doesn't matter since its just cosmetic). if you arent sure, get the third one (800mhz) and install the new kext and make sure you change the proper permissions so it works.

Indemnity83 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 8800 gt 1024mb (1gddr3) no problem with leopard Did you do anything in particular to get it working? I have an 8800 GT 512MB that I cannot get QE working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleIIGuy Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Did you do anything in particular to get it working? I have an 8800 GT 512MB that I cannot get QE working on. You probably need a efi string put in your com.apple.boot.plist http://aquamac.proboards.com/index.cgi?boa...&thread=509 that will show you have to create one for your card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
