noizo Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Well i'l looking for mainmoard for my pc, and this one seems to be compatible with my wallet and needs. I would like to use osx86 on my new pc, and maybe someone could tell me if all hardware on this board is compatible with latest osx86 MAINBOARD - Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R The rest of main hardware is below: RAM - Corsair Twin2X DDR2 2x 1GB 800MHz CL4-4-4-12 low latency CPU - Intel Core2 Duo E6550 2,33GHz (S775) BOX HDD - Seagate 400 GB Barracuda 7200.10 (16MB, Serial ATA II) I would be glad to hear all suggestions. Thx And maybe any ideas when Leopardx86 will be released? Maybe i should wait a month or two for Leox86 and then buy it all? EDIT: I have also found some info about some hardware patches to be done... Someone please tell me what are those patches and does that mean that i will have to upload some moded bios ar what?

AlexeySob Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Nargot, I wonder does FireWire work? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60087-gigabyte-ga-g33m-ds2r/#findComment-436513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nargot Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 firewire should work as the standard is owned by apple, i'll test it later when i can. Audio is mostly working now the only thing that will not work currently is IDE install JaS 10.4.8ppf1 via sata/usb drive. don't use uphuck dvd, it won't work as far as i remember. update to 10.4.10 with koolkai updater install realtek1000.kext and ALC889 patch for audios http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry436207 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60087-gigabyte-ga-g33m-ds2r/#findComment-438865 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what does that mean? raid does not work in hackintoshes for boot drives you can only install the OS with an optical drive connected via sata or usb 2 channel out audio works onboard GMA3100 has no quartz extreme (qe) or core image (ci) support, google it if you don't know what that means.

thysm00 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hi i purchased the same board and i got it to work under leo from TOH but only with ahci enabled in bios. I've seen that x3100 drivers are povided in leopard and are also working on some laptops and external display only but i can't get it to work. Did someone find a workaround like entering id in plists or something? By the way should i upgrade my bios? i currently have the F4 one, maybe the F6 one provides a better support for ahci...
