Hey guys/gals,

 

Anyone get audio working on a P5K-VM yet? I haven't had any luck with any of the kexts out there. I did fix rosetta and Keychain issues though.

 

P5K-VM

Core 2 Dua 4300 @ 3.15Ghz

GT 7300 256mb

500 MB SATA

2 Gig 800 Mhz Ram.

 

192 XBench score ....so far!

Asus P5K-VM is the dream board~~~~ Except the {censored} JMicron PATA controller, EVERYTHING WORKS!!! Do your homework and you'll find driver for all components that you need to build a rock solid Hacintosh~~~

 

SkyZ, could you post the links for getting all the stuff working on the p5k-vm? I would really appreciate it, as would a lot of people here. Thanks!

Alright, here's the list:

 

CPU: Nothing needs to be done

gfx card: Your choice, but I recommend nVidia 7xxx+Titan

RAM: Nothing needs to be done

HDD: onboard Intel ICH9 SATA port works out of the box

Optical drive (SATA): onboard Intel ICH9 SATA port works out of the box

Optical drive (IDE): need JMicronATA.kext (google is your best friend)

Sound (Realtek ALC883): Taurga HD audio patcher

LAN (onboard Marvell): Follow Gigabyte P965-DS3 method

Sleep: Nothing needs to be done

USB: Nothing needs to be done

FireWire: Nothing needs to be done

great thread but still cant figure out what the reason is why the uphack 1.4.9 1.4i install cd gives an error on the apple cd startscreen; the no smoking sign appears... does anybody had the same problem? ste my mobo to AHCI mode and plugged the dvd and hd drive to sataport 1&2.

 

is there another version that you can recomend me?

Hi everyone, this is my first post.

 

I just bought the board [Gigabyte G33M-DS2R] with the following components:

 

Core 2 Duo 6850 (1333 fsb)

2GB Corsair Dominator (1066) ("cpuz" shows they are running at 533Mhz... any suggestions?)

SATA HardDrive and getting a SATA DVD burner for the osx86 reason.

8600 512MB NVIDIA (I just read about 8 series not working.. so i would use on board video for this project :P

 

The thing is that i do not know anything about osx86.. I will need every help as well as sticking to this post.

I currently dual boot XP-MCE and Vista Ultimate.

Maybe i can use VM-WARE or Install on another harddrive or partition (what would you recommend?)

 

What version should i get for this motherboard, is there an "installer" going on or any guide to start with?

Any information will help me a lot, as soon as i get my results i will post my experiences. :P

 

Thanks everyone and GOD bless :rolleyes:

Overclock. You see, Ram runs at the speed that the CPU and motherboard tell it to. The "1066mhz" is what is rated for. Then also depends on your multipliers in BIOS and stuff. Memory speed, it's very confusing... Although your FSB is 1333/4 = 333 so it should show up as 667...

Yeah, but your onboard graphics aren't supported any better...No QE/CI, only Vesa...

Go to our "Genius Bar", look for threads on "dual-booting OS X with windows." There are some very helpful threads there.

Check out the wiki -> http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

@nargot, jgx et at. :

 

does your dual-dvi on the 7600 gt work with 2 tft displays connected BOTH directly dvi to dvi? or is one always connected via dvi to vga adapter?!?!

 

looking for a gfx-card that allows true 2xdvi-out on osx with 2 tft-displays connected via dvi to dvi , not dvi to vga.

Hey everyone!

 

I suspect this thread's gone cold but I really need some help.

 

I just bought the following computer:

 

Gigabyte G33M DS2R

Core 2 Quad Q6600

320gb SATA Barracuda

Pioneer SATA DVD burner

Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 v2

 

I'm having issues intalling 10.4.8 (JAS version).

USB isn't working, my ipod isn't charging and I can't use my keyboard and mouse. This becomes an issue when trying to configure etc. Is there anything I can do? I need to enable AHCI in bios to let it recognise my SATA drives.

 

Any suggestions will be heavily rewarded with magic cookies (chocolate of course).

Cheers,

Moike.

 

im interested with this board as well, and i intend on running leopard GM + brazilmac patch on it... i was wondering what is the current status of this board in running leopard? what works, what needs work still?

 

fyi, i intend on using an 8800 gts 320mb on this.

I just bought this board and it seems audio alc889a and network can work with a patch. i just have to boot in ahci mode and that bothers me since boot process is longer. Video card won't work (only vesa mode 1024x768 or 1280x1024 by adding boot options but no QE&CI) even if it's x3100 and that this card seems to work on external display on some notebooks. The rest of the board seems to work well. If somone finds a workaround for the ahci, juste tell me.
