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 10.5.5 builds only.
For how to edit the Wiki, please see this thread. Thank you!

Intel 945P / ICH7R
|
- Install Method: iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5
- SATA & IDE: Works out of the box
- Optical Drive: Nec ND-4550A (IDE) and Nec AS-7200S (SATA)
- Patches/Fixes used: PowerManagement fix
- Onboard audio not tested because it disable in BIOS (have other sound card)
|
EFI works, QE/CI hardware
|
All works from the box with PowerManagement fix (included in iDeneb 1.3)
For additional onboard IDE controller (ITE 8211F) can be used JMicron kext, but it gives only PIO4 mode, very slow.
Execute disable bit function must be enabled in BIOS, otherwise OSX won't start at all (permanent reboot)
AppleRTC and AppleHPET works with PCEFI_V9

No, needs AMD patch, but the one included on the DVD doesn't work; I had to download another and install in super-user-mode.
