Editing HCL 10.4.9

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 10.4.9 builds only.

|Intel 865G GMCH / ICH5
|Everything seems to work smoothly, SATA, network and USB. Audio works stereo, but output jack is mic in by default!
* To fix that (to change it back to the line out) you must modify the file '/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext/Contents/Info.plist'
# Find the line with <string>ADS75 ADS74 ADS73 ADS72</string>

==Graphics Cards== 
Please specify if your card is AGP, PCI or PCI-E.<br />
Also, place chip and board manufacturer in their respective column.

<div style="border: 1pt dashed blue; background : grey; padding: 1em 1em;">
'''Note''': For NVidia users, visit http://www.macvidia.org/ for updated drivers. For NVIDIA CARDS PLEASE SPECIFY IF THE CARD DOES QE/CI. Saying the macvidia drivers work but not specifying QE or CI is a bit misleading. 
If you are using the new kernel then download the Titan kext from http://omni.starchaser.org/titan/ to get QE/CI support

'''Note''':These instructions may confuse noobs as they are a bit out of date. As far as i know, the MacVidia drivers do NOT support QE/CI AT ALL. You can use the kexts that come with your OSx86, or the ones from the 10.4.8 Intel update with your card. You may need to replace OpenGL.Framework too. Titan and Natit are merely enablers which make OSx86 think your VGA BIOS card is an EFI Firmware one (as on a real intel mac), and should load before the NVNVDA* kexts. An installer for Natit can be found at [http://installers.dl.am/]. Check the forums for more info.
</div>

<div style="border: 1pt dashed blue; background : grey; padding: 1em 1em;">
'''Note''': For ATI users, visit http://omni.starchaser.org/ for experimental drivers.
</div>

<div style="border: 1pt dashed blue; background : grey; padding: 1em 1em;">
'''Note''': As of right now, all ATI cards with working kexts have severe slowdown issues with nForce3 chipsets. There is no fix for this, save getting editting out your card from the kext or using Quartz Debug to shut off Quartz Extreme. Edit: Just use agpgart to get no slowdowns at all on nForce3. Joblo10
