drule Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I've been labelling my system as a MacPro3,1 in my SMBIOS.plist, mainly because this model ended up in my 'About' dialog ages ago However, after reading a post about the different GPUs listed in AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext, I had a look at the info.plist in it. Well, the MacPro4,1 key (under AGPM) has the correct vendor ID for my video card (9500 GT). So what would I be better off doing? My system: nVidia 9500 GT 512MB video Pentium D 820 Intel 945GCZ MB 3GB RAM ICH7 2 x PATA DVD writers SATA and eSata with AHCI enabled BT MightyMouse Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/222395-which-system-is-better-for-me-macpro31-or-macpro41/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Use a Legacy AGPM kext and replace MacPro4,1 with MacPro3,1, or move the code for your video card over to the MacPro3,1 part. Don't use MacPro4,1 model identifier if you don't have a Nehalem architecture CPU.

Don't use MacPro4,1 model identifier if you don't have a Nehalem architecture CPU. So MacPro3,1 is what I should stick with? What if I just renamed that key, in the 10.6.3 AGPM kext, from MacPro4,1 to MacPro3,1? Thanks for the help.

Gringo Vermelho Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yes, and yes, that's what I meant...I forgot that there's no MacPro3,1 entry in AGPM.kext.
