InsaneBart Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hello, I`m planning to buy the Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P mainboard, but i can`t find information if it will work with osx86 and if it`s possible to modify the bios. Does somebody know this? If it can`t be done with this mainboard, can somebody give me advice for another one with the almost the same specs??

Erigz Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Well, I have this mainboard, along with AMD Phenom II 810 x4, 6GB of RAM, GF 9800 GT, SATA DVD drive and SATA hard drive. I tried iDeneb 10.5.6 and iPC 10.5.6 (both with Voodoo 9.5 kernel, seatbelt fix and VIA/AMD etc. chipset drivers) and almost everything works fine except of integrated network card (Realtek 8111DL). I enabled "LAN Boot Rom" in BIOS and first, I tried official Realtek 8111DL drivers for OSX but it didn't work (system didn't see network card at all). Then I got drivers posted here : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t=0&start=0 . It caused iDeneb to freeze on blue screen after booting if I booted up PC with network cable plugged in. Plugging in cable after booting didn't work, network settings showed that "Network cable is unplugged". Then I tried installing iPC. Realtek's official drivers also didn't work but the second one did... There was only one issue, I mean every time after turning on PC you have to boot into Leopard (with plugged in network cable), then it freezes just like iDeneb, but when you reboot you computer, everything works fine. Anyway it's pretty annoying. I'm going to try changing some more settings in BIOS and installing a bit older version of Leopard (10.5.5 etc.), maybe this will help. All in all, I think that this mainboard is pretty nice. You can simply buy some mac-compatible Wi-Fi adapter and everything will be okay.
