Azurael Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 No need to shell out extra money on a 'real' Intel mobo that won't overclock for toffee. Abit, Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, etc - the usual suspects - all do P35 and P965 boards which will fit the bill brilliantly, have OSX86-friendly hardware, overclock better and cost less (though do try and get something with ICH8/9R, otherwise SATA can be awkward.)

Dr. Hurt Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Could it be because you're using a higher than usual FSB. I see that you have overclocked your e6600. Try putting it back at stock FSB to see if this is the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkblt Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'm looking to get a new MB, and had my eyes on the BadAxe2. Basically I'd like to run with stock kexts as much as possible. Is that a good MB, or are there other specific ones that should be better? Also, I feel like the MB might be showing its age a bit. /blkblt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dainix Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Ran the mod, and everything seems to be running smoothly so far on my Core 2 Duo T5500. Software Update installed and ran everything, though nothing crucial. We'll see if the 10.5.1 update will be able to install without a hitch once it becomes available from Apple. For the guys that might already have the seed of 10.5.1, does running the update with this EFI mod work? EDIT: I need to read old posts more often than not. Just found the answer to my question, which is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about overclocking. Is the Intel GMA 3000 compatible in OS X? I know the Macbook uses a 3100.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813121049 I'm interested in this one.

Also, I feel like the MB might be showing its age a bit. /blkblt It'll work fine, but there are more modern and cheaper alternatives now. If you're not looking to run two graphics cards in Crossfire, you're probably better off getting a P35 board from one of the leading manufacturers (Abit, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, etc) You get guaranteed 45nm CPU support, faster memory controller, better overclocking, better southbridge, newer sound codecs, and no real tradeoffs other than P35's inability to split it's x16 PCI into 2 x8 slots like 975 can. Still, if you wanted CF, you'd probably have the money to be looking at X38 now, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaderd Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Only tried V3 and it works! Replacing with the included AppleSMBIOS.kext resulted with just the cursor on the blue background and no desktop. Old kext works though... Reboot and shutdown problems (reboots only after a few seconds and doesn't shut down) remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raulb Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hey, can someone post stock kernel and kexts or point to where we can get them to try out with this. Also is the 10.5.1 update available anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
