Zotac 9300-ITX WiFi

[EGOvoruhk]

this board has the same memory mapping problems as the gigabyte 730i mobo has, so if you are wanting to run >2Gb you may want to get a different mobo.

 

What kind of problems does this cause? Is this something exclusive to OS X?

[DiaboliK]

lets say it crashes like crazy and leave it at that.

so the crashing occurs only with over 2gb of ram? is there any way of solving this?

 

i would hate to see this board labeled unfit for osx86

hello. I'll join asap to this topic. I bought that mobo 2 weeks ago but i decided to have -before put myself into this newer game- a running asus mcp79 mobo (in my signature). Therefore I'm waiting for the processor (i'll be deliveres next tuesday.. i hope ) I've already the case (for me the best is nexus white with integrated slim slot in dvd recorder! but is very expensive). my case is 69€ and is a cube with psu 300W. I think is enough for the system- ram 4gb and dvd recorder slim with a slim-to-sata bought on ebay.

the mobo in europe costs 130€ from zotac. I think is one of the best between cost/quality and is un-trendy. I don't know which expression is right in english/american but i mean that the trend is to have a bigger case, bigger mobo with heavy cooler on the processor.. then in Italy energy costs and my goal is to reach the best system (mcp79 -- apple newer macbook -- all-in-one motherboard) with less watt and high performance.

 

as soon as possible I'll do a sector copy of the hdd of the asus one and start to hackintosh the zotac.

I stay in touch with you..

thanks for your so exaustive information!!

hy

thanks. I've used the zip attached in the post linked above

yes. It run fine

I confirm that I left untouched the S/L/E and put the zip as is into E/E

 

the system boots very well, quickly and fine

no crash or kp, the only 2 immediately problems are: audio and restart.

 

for the audio i'd like to run voodoohda tomorrow morning.. else the alc662.txt with taruga patch.

 

the restart.. I see that there is no trace of openhaltrestart in the zip.. I consider to use that one.

 

I want ask to all can hear.. in the zip there are a lot of kext.. IOATA.. AppleSMBIOS.. ACPI.. then.. are them all deep changed? Can I cut and tune in order to reduce the number ok modded kexts?

 

for diabolik: Is there a way to create a mix and match dsdt.. easy? I mean: I can obtain dsdt from ubuntu.. disassemble it. Or with ioreg and the dsdtpatcher tools. but in the 2 case the dsdt.dsl is not enought to run as we need. Can I change/mod the dsdt as you did for the p5n7a-vm in order to have true HPET, no need of NVKush, Correct CPUS, etc etc etc??

I notice there is a new Zotac with an Atom processor and nvidia 9400. I wonder how much it will cost ?

[timme]

Yes, that's one of the first Nvidia ION boards. The huge difference to the 9300-ITX WiFi is that you are stuck with the Atom CPU and there is no PCIe 16x slot for video cards.

 

I think ION is primarily aimed at lightweight computing and HTPC usage.
