So I'm wondering, and forgive me, this might seem like a simple question. I have 1066 memory in my system, supported and reported by BIOS. About This Mac says 800.

 

1) I presume the speed of the memory is not affected - it's still running at 1066, correct? Or?

2) I tried the SMBIOS-1066 kext as supplied with iDeneb 1.4, but to no avail. Obviously, if there's a simple way of having About display the correct value, I'd love that, but the answer to "1" is more important

I can personally say that I tried running Geekbench a few days ago and it correctly reported 1333 bus frequency in system information after the test. Just for a test, I increased bus frequency in bios, Geekbench also reported the increase and reflected that in the result. But usually I just run everything stock.

 

 

You can use OSX86Tools to change the information in about this mac.

 

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for the quick and informative answer! :rolleyes:

Throw away your SMBIOS injector kexts and use Chameleon 2.0 RC1 with /extra/smbios.plist:

If the information is correct in the System Profiler, it will also appear correctly in About This Mac.

 

Don't just edit it with OSX86Tools, do it right, it's worth it.

Can't this also be accomplished with some DSDT (EFI?) patching?

 

And what if you have no (other) use for Chameleon 2? I sure don't.

 

BTW: Chameleon 2 RC is still a "Release Candidate" and thus should not be used by everyone... or the use of RC has no meaning.
