neogeo Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 I would be adding a videocard anyway. so, do u use this chipset? Is the network after the fix stable? any other issues I should know about? Do you have a recommendation on videocards? Only certain cards will fit into the shuttle. I would prefer nvidia. I will be dual booting this with xp hopefully. Thanks for your detailed instructions, I really appreciate it.

martiniman Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I just tried my new set based on the following components: Shuttle PC Barebone SG31G2B Intel Core2Duo E8400 2x 3Ghz 2x2Gb Kingston Valueram PC6400CL5 XFX Geforce 7600GT 256Mb Panasonic DVD-R106 WD RE2 SATA 500Gb First time I started I got no video. I used the onboard VGA port. This does not work. I moved my monitor to the DVI-1 port on the Geforce and I got image. In the Bios I chose "Load Optimize Defaults" and all processorfrequencies were set right to match the E8400 Setup of 10.4.8 worked including the NV40 extension for full 7600GT support. Perfect. The system shows a 3ghz CPU with 2 cores, bus speed is 1333 mhz, Memory speed is 800 mhz. All perfect. I followed the Yukon extensions modification as described above, and that worked perfectly. Three problems though: My monitor does not wake from sleep. I have no sound support The fans run maximum speed all the time. Does anybody have idea's to fix that?

Megaplow Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 So whats the scoop, did it work and are you still running it? I have been playing around with my Shuttle SG31G2 for some time now and am not able to get a stable build. I have tried vanilla (preferred) I have tried Kalyway I have tried Chameleon They all work to some extent but I wanted to know which is best and works with mac updates. Each time I try to update to 1.5.5 my system stops booting into OSX. Any specific help on the Shuttle would be much appreciated!

Harlow Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Just wanted to see if anyone had successfully gotten the audio Input (mainly mic) to work with the headphone jacks on the front of the SG31G2. Ive had my shuttle dual booting iPC OSx and Win XP for a bit but I still cant get the mic to work while in OSx. Ive got the realtek 888 installed and have good sound output but cant mic operational. Any suggestions would be helpful.
