@ fuzzyshubert:

Nice to hear the first DSDTs for the p67a boards are out.
Did you extract and/or modify your's for the ud3 yourself?
Or do you have a source where I could eventually find one for the p67a ud7 as well?

Hi, Thank you all for your input! I have this mobo with intel 2300 and everything works fine. But when I put an extra 4gb of ram in the system (total of 8gb) I won't start up anymore..

Any ideas?

Thanks again for everything!

edit: When I see at systemprofiler, I see that my ram is only DDR2 and running at 800mhz and it's actually DDR3 1333mhz. Any ideas about that?

what systemprofiler is showing doesn't matter really.
To get all 8 gigs working try booting with -force64

How do I do that? I saw this app on the net: http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/Engl ... S/SMS.html

Will that work?

Thanks

No, that is only for real Macs.

I used Billabongo's tutorial for it and it works fine!

Thanks all for the help!

He is probably using my DSDT. I have a post with all files on insanelymac, but no guide. Installs are all the same anyway--just the specific files matter.

Everything is working fine, except:

it's hard to explain, but I do my best.

My computer works 4 times as slow as it should be. When I set the clock correct, after 20 minutes on my watch, the computer's clock only moved for 5 minutes.

When I download something at 2.5mb/s, the computer says it's 10mb/s.

Also, when I move from space to space, the graphics are much slower (4 times) than it should be...

Does somebody else got this problem?


edit: The best way to describe this imo: The computer thinks that 4 seconds are 1 second.
edit2: Maybe something to do with the quadcore?

Possibly something to do with your Graphics. The Integrated Graphics into the Sandy Bridge Chips are currently not supported on OS X, you need a separate GPU.

Thanks for the help, but I think it's because of the 64bit. Tony had the same problems when he tried to boot in 64bit.

What do you think?

What bios settings did you use? When it boots into the installer it says Mac Os X cannot be installed on this computer.

I'm using snow leopard 10.6 retail dvd with SATA=AHCI and HPet=disabled.

HPET should be enabled and set to 64-bit. At least thats how I have it working on mine. The message you are getting is either because you have an upgrade disk instead of a retail install disk or because your aren't booting with cpus=1.

Also you may have to upgrade your BIOS to a newer revision. I was receiving that same message when booting off a retail DVD until I upgraded to the F6A revision for the GA-P67A-UD3.

I modified it to work with the 10.6.2 AppleHDA and included the d00d edits to date. I don't know if the forum has been updated yet for the ud7 though.

Hi Tonymac.
I thinking my new Sandy Bridge spec for test ==>
- CPU Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 2300
- Mainboard GA-P67A-UD3P (rev. 1.0) / GA-P67A-UD3R (rev. 1.0)
and GA-P67A-UD5 (rev. 1.0) for my friend is request IEEE1394A port onboard
- VGA Main choice use Gigabyte ATi GPU
1. GV-R577UD-1GD
2. GV-R567OC-1GI
And Gigabyte Nvidia GV-N430OC-1GL 's last choice.
- Kingston Hyper X Bus 1800 MHz. 4 GB. (2 x 2048)
- Sound Onboard Realtek ALC889 codec High Definition Audio
- other HW (HDD, PSU, Keyboard, Mouse, DVD drive is same my x58 spec)

Is can pass Mac OS X 10.6.3 setup & Can use it OK same GA-x58UD3R spec?
