Foxic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yes, perfectly fine for general use on either version. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275055-intel-hd-3000-performance/#findComment-1789300 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Can you disable IntelHD graphics through your BIOS? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275055-intel-hd-3000-performance/#findComment-1789378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitmz Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yes, I'm able to turn off HD 3000 on bios, why asking? Just saw this http://macmanx86.blogspot.com/ (chimera 1.7 changelog) and it seems to enable GT 555M by default.. wonder if will work 0x10DE0DCD, "GeForce GT 555M" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275055-intel-hd-3000-performance/#findComment-1789393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 If you turn off IntelHD graphics you will use your Nvidia card by default See here for your video card if chimera 1.7 doesn't work: http://www.insanelym...threaded&start= The NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M is based on the same GF106 core as the GeForce GT 445M but offers slightly higher clock rates and support for DDR3 running at 900 MHz. The other features like PureVideo HD (VP4), 3DVision, HD Audio support, are identical to the GT445M.

Foxic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You will need the drivers in that thread I linked you to for snow leopard, lion should give you native support using chimera and GraphicsEnabler=Yes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275055-intel-hd-3000-performance/#findComment-1789566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitmz Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 That's amazing! Will try Lion first and report here. Then I'll go for Snow Leopard if Lion fails on something. Just need my notebook.. ETA is 10 days :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275055-intel-hd-3000-performance/#findComment-1789592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxic Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 That gives you some time to do a bit of research. The more you read now, the less you will be confused later. If you have no access to a mac you may need to use iAtkos to install Lion. Usually you would use snow leopard to make the lion install media as boot disks don't really exist for lion as it is only distributed via the app store or USB key. If you use iAtkos, there is a customise tab in which you can install kexts for non apple hardware. I strongly advise you to disable EVERYTHING so you get as close to a retail install as possible. Retail installs are much simpler than distros like iAtkos when troubleshooting later on.

guitmz Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Nah, burned the lion dvd with my hackitosh 10.6.8 on desktop its possible to boot with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] i believe, isnt it? will try first with retail lion then iatkos l2.. then snow leo retail and other snow leos if lion dont work well EDIT: i`m making a usb lion with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] on my current hackintosh.. using the lion 10.7.2 dmg, so far seems to be working.. there isnt a way to boot the dvd? hope usb works anyway, seems faster than installing from dvd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275055-intel-hd-3000-performance/#findComment-1789599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxic Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 USB is the way with Lion Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275055-intel-hd-3000-performance/#findComment-1789672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitmz Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 What I did: On my 10.6.8 hackintosh I have a 10.7.2 DMG. I've: - Mounted the Lion DMG - prepared the usb key - opened [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] - selected Lion app and laptop support. - It did created the Lion USB w/o errors.. Question is: will this work? Because most places says i need retail app under applications folder or retail usb and i dont have any, just lion DMG Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275055-intel-hd-3000-performance/#findComment-1789756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxic Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yea that's fine, I used the Gold Master DMG in a similar way. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275055-intel-hd-3000-performance/#findComment-1789926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
