This is a component level hardware compatibility list. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying hardware. Add which parts you have working in the categories listed below, or create a new category. Please keep alphabetical order inside the categories. The categories themselves are ordered by popularity. Please list any caveats or problems as well.
- ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
- Please add hardware into tables.
- This is for 10.7.4 builds only.
For how to edit the Wiki, please see this thread. Thank you!

- Logitech Z-10 USB Speakers
BIOS Settings:
- Load Optimized Defaults, Boot Priority to USB-HDD, change SATA to AHCI mode, and set HPET to 64-bit mode.
Initial installation:
- Lion .dmg file from App Store
Working:
- Shutdown/Reboot, Sleep/Wake
- Mac App Store, iCloud
- Software Update
- Steam Games
- All USB devices
- All Seems To Work
Not tested yet:
- Dual boot
- TimeMachine
- Webcam
|
Kexts and patches:
- Right after Lion installation you should use your new bootable USB flash drive to run system, install kexts and make changes listed below. This is temporary and necessary.
- Now you can eject USB flash loader and use Chameleon on HDD
- Install only IOUSBFamily Rollback (to prevent KP when plugging USB devices).
- To enable iCloud and AppStore add these lines to org.chameleon.Boot.plist
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
and use Champlist App to fake your system info.
If something with Chameleon goes wrong, you always can use your flash drive and start over. Here are screenshots of my org.chameleon.Boot.plist and SMBios.plist for reference.

Installation
- Lion Retail Method and Clean install
- no tweaking on other kexts since your ID is already on the OS
- After upgrading to Lion only HDMI works
(check the Alienware section above and see the process of this card)
- install the latest CUDA drivers of Nvidia CUDA
- install the latest Nvidia drivers Driver for GTX 2xx series
- Delete your EFI string from org.Chameleon.boot.plist located in /Extra/ -(no longer need it)
- "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" is a must now in your org.Chameleon.Boot.Plist
- JUST in case that didn't work.
- install this using kextWizard (delete orignals first from /S/L/E/)
- ---->Nvidia GTX all from osx86.net
- Repair permissions with Kexthelper etc...
- Flags I used for this card IN EXTREME cases
- "PCIRootUID=1" "npci=0x3000"
