RFMan Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hello, I've recently upgraded my Hackintosh and in the process I purchased a GeForce 8800GT 1GB card. Not that I need 1GB of video RAM, but at 159$-30$ mail-in, that was the cheapest 8800GT that I could find locally. I've installed from Kalyway 10.5.2, and I used nVinject 0.2.0 installer and I get full dual-monitor support at 1920x1200, QC/CI on both, but the reported video memory is 256MB. Considering I got full support with minimal effort, I shouldn't complain, but I was wondering if anyone has managed to get the system to recognize all the RAM on a 1GB card. I often run Aperture on both screens simultaneously, so I figure the system could use all the video RAM it can get to support 2x 1920x1200. Cheers, Luc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFMan Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well, I'm up to 10.5.4 now, with NVinstaller 0.52. I selected the 768Mb option, but there was no option for 1024. I tried editing the string in the Plist (It was suggested to use 00000040 for 1024MB, but that resulted in a reported RAM of -256MB. anyways, I'll stay on the lookout.
