eroxm Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi! I'd like to build a new machine for running dual boot Snow Leopard and Windows 7. There doesn't seem to be much mainboards with socket 775 that are using DDR3 RAM. One that I've found is the Asus P5E64 WS Evolution which seems to fit my needs. Is somebody here using this board that can report about problems or if everything's working just fine. I Would also like to know which kexts you are using.

d0d0d0 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi, I'm using this board in dual boot with Leopard 10.5.8 and Windows Server 2008, and everything works fine. (however i did not had time to get the 'sleep' function to work) I used iAtkos v7 and updated easily with Software Update, but a retail install of Snow Leopard should not be a problem. I don't really remember which kext i installed, (i don't have my computer with me at the moment) but in a few days i will be able to tell you more. It's really a good mb, and i'm happy with it! See you. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187807-asus-p5e64-ws-evolution-anyone-using-this-board/#findComment-1277276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0d0d0 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 ok, i’m here. here is the kext i used to run 10.5.8 on a P5E64 WS Evolution: - AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext for Intel ICH9R southbridge (you may need something similar for Snow Leopard) - SKGE.kext for Marvell 88E8001 - AppleYukon3.kext for Marvel 88E8056 - HDAEnabler.kext by Kabyl + AD1988b.HDA.FIX.kext for ADI 1988B i also corrected a few error in the DSDT, but nothing big. and that’s all. i did not installed Snow Leopard yet, but i don’t think it must harder than that. if you have more question please contact me.

eroxm Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks for your help! I hope I can find suitable kexts for Snow Leopard. Maybe you could help me with one more thing: what changes did you do to the DSDT?

d0d0d0 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 almost nothing. just fixed a few warnings at compilation, but nothing significant. that was useless, it runs just fine with the lastest bios from asus (0802).

Mu5ician Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi guys. I'm very interested in building a hackintosh with this mobo. Would you mind explaining your methods of installing? I'm not sure whether I need bootloaders, or installations from usb thumbdrives etc. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
