joako Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Does anyone know if there is any cheap motherboard that will work 100% with premade DSDT? All I see in this category are (what I think) expensive boards. Anything in the $60-80 range?

Gringo Vermelho Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 You don't necessarily need a premade DSDT (or a patched DSDT at all) to get OS X up and running. Besides using other people's DSDT is a bad idea, the DSDT table is not static, at the very least it changes depending on BIOS settings and the amount of installed RAM. When looking for a compatible motherboard you need to look at the specs and break it down in parts. Drive Controller (chipset Southbridge), LAN, Sound, Firewire etc. If all the individual components are reported working, then it's a pretty safe bet that the motherboard will work. If you're looking for a recent motherboard, go for one with Intel ICH10 (or ICH10R) Southbridge, that's half the battle won already.

joako Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 I thought DSDT was supposed to be the best way to get everything working, so it's not? So if I have sound/LAN/sleep/graphics all working with kext then there are no more concerns? What about speedstep, booting to 64bit mode and getting rid of AppleNullCPUPowerManagement?
