MistorOrange Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Nope you in luck. 10.5.2 supports it and TADA the drivers are on a thread in here if you just do a search they are beta though. hmm wasn't aware leopard was up to 10.5.2 yet, and i'm having trouble finding anything about "beta drivers" if you could post a link i'd appreciate it, thanks.

elitee Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Stella, where did you see that the hard drive was $120? All the popular stores have it basically priced per gb. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolly Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 does 8800GTS series video card fits in this mobo(GA-945GCMX-S2), i saw the pic of thr mobo and im worried that my big 8800GTS touch the ICH7 chipset near sata ports?? can someone confirm this?i appreciate ur help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarola Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Thanks! but how it's posible? I get 80points and my disk is 7200rpm (see sign) I think it might be the motherboard. I know when I had a 7200rpm hdd, it didn't get as high of a score as yours did. Very interesting. I'm positive if we put the raptor in your motherboard, the scores would be much higher. -Stell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwk Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I thought I would crosspost to this thread in hopes of more coverage... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a 975X chipset (Shuttle SD39P2) and shutdown/restart fail for me. I am running: KALYWAY_LEO_10.5.1intel_SSE2_SSE3 vanilla kernel I downloaded AppleACPIPlatform (from irc.osx86.hu #leopard) and discovered it has the same md5 as the one in my original install: 273867a829e2356b60016b0317242a53 AppleACPIPlatform Needless to say it did not help. I have checked and set all the BIOS settings mentioned in this (and other) threads to no avail. Can any of the developers (netkas etc...?) comment on this situation. Do they know? How does one notify them? It is a particular problem for me because I use automated startup (via WOL) and shutdown to backup the machines on my network (including this one). BTW, restart/shutdown were working on uphuck 10.4.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeze Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Thinking about putting together a box with this board in it. Do all of the SATA ports work? No Jmicron ports correct? Geeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe all the SATA ports work, and no jmicron ports. Good luck on finding this mobo. Alot of people ended up buying most stores out due to the posts on this forum. -Stell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistorOrange Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I just got done building my machine, everything is working great except for audio, i seen that stellorolla, used a usb audio in/out? is that required.. i thought the motherboard's built in audio was detected? neway thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistorOrange Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 well i got everything working great, i was wondering what everyones cpu temps were, im running the dual core 2 duo, my temps run at about 40 - 42 at idle, and 43 - 46 when under load , is that pretty normal? neway thanks a lot guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iji oh Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 well i got everything working great, i was wondering what everyones cpu temps were, im running the dual core 2 duo, my temps run at about 40 - 42 at idle, and 43 - 46 when under load , is that pretty normal? neway thanks a lot guys Those are generally normal temperatures (under any OS), as far as I know. I was afraid to poke my temperature sensor between the CPU and the stock fan (as my case manual advised). So, I can only tell you what my case temperature is... It averages roughly 29 degrees Celsius. As far as sound, i think you have to install the ALC888 kext to get it working, but you might want to double-check that. (I'm using USB sound myself.)

You will get full in/out from the onboard audio. I only use a usb device (M-Audio Jamlab) for recording guitar. -Stell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellarola Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 If anyone has a 7900GS or a 7600GT, I've got good news for you. I've got a string that will allow you to not have to use NVinject or Natit. Also with this board, I've got a Time Machine fix without having to use a modified IONetworkingfamily.kext. I'll be posting these files soon. Lemme know if anyone is interested. -Stell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellarola Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Like I was saying before I have a couple com.apple.Boot.plist which will allow you to not have to use NVinject and also a modified IONetworkingfamily.kext. This is specific to GA-945GMCX-S2 and also you need PC_EFI v7 or above. 7900GS 256MB GFX Fix and Time Machine Fix http://rapidshare.com/files/83346365/Bootp...5GMXS2.zip.html ^Be sure to delete NVinject.kext and also replace the modified IONetworkingfamily.kext with the original (vanilla) one. ------------- Time Machine Fix http://rapidshare.com/files/83347128/TMfix...GMCXS2.zip.html ^If you don't have a 7900GS but you still want to use this Time Machine fix, be sure to replace the modified IONetworkingFamily.kext with the original one. ------------- com.apple.Boot.plist is located in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. After you move the file over open up terminal and type these commands... cd Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration chmod 644 com.apple.Boot.plist chown root:admin com.apple.Boot.plist Once you run those commands, restart and you should be set. -Stell P.S. - Thanks to Time_ed for setting this whole thing up for me so I can share it with other people.
