^tenshi Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I followed a guide from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...81870&st=20. Installed it and it works fine, however it detects 8800GTS in system profiler, the card user Harbri patched the dsdt for I guess. How can I make it detect my 8600GT 512mb properly? I tried adding an EFI string bit it seems to override it somehow and still detect the one specified by that user's that made the guide . Is it possible to somehow re-patch the dsdt for my own hardware? (also using a DS3P mobo). It's the first time I'm setting up osx86 with retail image and using stuff like dsdt patched files (my prev osx86 was Leopard by Kalyway). Also in the about this mac, it shows 2.67 Unknown processor instead my Q6600s frequency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sneezymarble Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 If you have access to a Windows installation, even if it's a VM installation, I strongly recommend you build your own dsdt. Follow this guide. Also, I just removed smbios entirely and now my system reports my configuration correctly. I don't really understand the functional benefit of smbios. Maybe somebody can help me out there by explaining why people use it.
