Hardware Compatibility

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 10.6.8 builds only.

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

  • 2x2GB (4GB) RAM Corsair Dominator XMS3 1600 Mhz
  • Sapphire Ati Radeon HD 5770 1 GB Vapor-x

Install Mac with iAtkos S3 v2 with this configuration:

Important: If the iAtkos installer crashes on start, start the pc using the iAtkos DVD and press F8, write this "-v cpus=1 busratio=20", it will work.

  • 1) Chameleon RC4 bootloader
  • 2) Boot with 32-bit mode
  • 3) DON'T USE Graphic Enabler for now.
  • 4) In Bootloader options --> USB check all.
  • 5) In the same menu check Ethernet too and, if you want, check Legacy Logo (you will have the original Apple Logo when booting)
  • 6) In "Patches" menu don't touch anything. Don't use modified kernels or USB fixes.
  • 7) In "Drivers" menu check only "Main Hardware" --> "Sound" --> Both drivers (Vodoo and Apple). If you use PS/2 keyboard or mouse, check PS/2 too.
  • 8) Don't touch VGA for now.
  • 9) In network choose Wired (if you're connecting with Ethernet) and select Realtek --> RTL8168.
  • 10) In Language Translations choose your language.
  • 11) Install all.
  • 12) Reboot and log on the OS. If MacOS come up with an error and you need to restart the computer, still use "-v cpus=1 busratio=20" for every boot.
  • 13) To install VGA drivers, download Kext Helper v0.7 (this is the last version for now) and download ATI 5000 Series drivers 32-bit from www.kext.com. Use Kext Helper to install all the content from the ATI 5000 Series driver directory.
  • 14) Install Apple Combo Update to get 1.6.8 version.
  • 15) Enjoy your system.

With this configuration all works: VGA, USB and internet connection.

  • After install has completed and you reboot with iBoot, run combo update, but before you restart to finish the update run the packages in this order:
  • 10.6.2-AppleHDAInstaller, DSDT Auto-Patcher, then HDEF Gigabyte DSDT Auto-Patcher (it will overwrite original DSDT), run Multibeast (select UserDSDT, NullCPU.....kext, EvoReboot.kext, Repair Permissions, Repair Caches, NVEnabler.kext, and any SMBIOS or 64-bit plist you prefer).
  • When you are done, you will be booting into Chimera (no need for -v or -x, but do it if you choose) with a complete installation.

G31TM-P21 Intel G31 and ICH7 *I don't use the onboard graphics, so I can't comment on that.*

My hardware:

  • MSI G31TM-P21 Motherboard
  • Intel Celeron Dual-core E3200 Processor (Recognized as Core 2 Duo in Snow Leopard)
  • Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 Single stick
  • 120GB Seagate IDE Hard drive
  • Samsung SATA DVD-RW Optical drive
  • XFX Radeon HD 5670 1GB Graphics card

Installation:

I used this guide along with a retail 10.6.3 disk I also used Empire EFI v1.08 to boot into the installer, replacing the parts that involved iBoot with Empire EFI in step 2. *For the BIOS settings in step 1 of the guide, change all of the settings listed in the guode that are possible and also disable the serial and parallel ports and disable legacy USB support. This board doesn't allow switching to AHCI mode, but it will still work.* I didn't select any drivers in the Multibeast setup and chose EasyBeast without system utilities.
Onboard audio and ethernet needed drivers (You can download them here). Use Kext Helper to install the audio kext. Tick.png
