Kasakka Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 System Profiler doesn't seem to properly recognize my SATA controllers. Says: Unknown AHCI Standard Controller: Vendor: Unknown Product: AHCI Standard Controller Speed: 3.0 Gigabit Description: AHCI Version 1.20 Supported I have an Abit IP35 board (ICH9R) and use AHCI mode. OS X 10.5.4 and Vista are installed on separate hard disks. Everything seems to run fine except Xbench scores are low (mainly apparently due to the user interface test and disk test scores) and Call of Duty 2 had some graphics issues (specular maps looking overbright on characters) and ran at about 1/3 of the speed it does in Vista. Should I be worried? Can I do something to have my controllers recognized?

Yes you can replace the Info.plist files with the ones in the file attached if you need percise instructions for install let me know, for the graphics we would need to know about the card involved, whether QE/CI is already enabled, driver used ... probably best starting a new thread for this as the title of this one has nothing to do with graphics.

Kasakka Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks! I'll try the plists when I get home. Solved the Xbench/graphics problem already, just had to remove Nvinject, put in an EFI string and also used the new 10.5.5 drivers found on the Graphics cards forum.

Kasakka Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks again for the files. Replaced them in the extensions and now my SATA chip is recognized properly and my HDDs also have the right icons. Seems my Xbench score also went up slightly.
