Intel DG33TL Motherboard
From OSx86
Contents |
[edit] Preface
The Intel DG33TL is a popular motherboard for installing OSX86, due to its availability in the Intel Employee Purchase Program, and its preceived compatibility due to its G33 Chipset and onboard Intel GMA 3100 video chipset.
This needs to be modified and formatted properly, but there will be some basic info on the DG33TL Motherboard in here! In the interm, please review this post on the Insanely Mac forum.
[edit] Components
[edit] Processors
OS X seems to work with all processors that Intel recommends as compatible with this board. If you are using a newer processor, such as the "Wolfdale" 8000 series, you may need to update the BIOS in order for it to be recognized properly and run at full speed.
[edit] Onboard Audio
The DG33TL has a SigmaTel STAC9271D Audio Chipset. Audio will not work out of the box with current distributions of OSX.
Kext for onboard soundcard can be found here .
Some users have experienced a problem where they are unable to mute the audio using these kexts. If you have a solution for this problem, please add it to this section.
[edit] Onboard LAN
The DG33TL has an Intel 82566DC LAN Controller. Onboard LAN currently does not work. Users have reported success with PCI and USB solutions. Please review the hardware compatibility lists for your version of OSX.
[edit] Onboard Video
The DG33TL has an Intel GMA 3100 Graphics Controller. Onboard video does not currently work. Users have reported success with various PCI-E video cards, including nVidia 6, 7, and 8 series cards. .
nVidia cards may need the appropriate nvinject kext, which are included in the Kalyway installation DVD.
[edit] IDE Controller
During installation, users have reported failures when attempting to use IDE drives, in particular IDE Optical Drives. The consensus workaround is to utilize SATA.
Some users have reported success using IDE hard drives. YMMV. .
[edit] SATA Controller
It is recommended to use SATA0 for your hard disk, and SATA1 for your optical drive during installation. Additional drives can be added post installation. . .
[edit] Hard Drives
It is recommended that you format your hard disk as a Master Boot Record. This can be done in Disk Utility, under the partition tab. Choose the partition you are going to install the system on and click options. If you do not format the disk correctly, you will not be able to boot without the install DVD in the DVD drive. .
[edit] Recommended BIOS settings
It is recommended to change your hard drives to AHCI (as opposed to RAID or Legacy). If you intend to dual boot your computer, the IDE setting works in Kalaway 10.5.2 and MBR.
