    New problems with 6870 and Mountain Lion

    With the help of those drivers attached, I finally got my Mac to show Radeon 6XXX instead of Graphics 3 MB. However, it's very slow and glitchy. Now my main goal is to get it to recognize it as a 6870. Duckweed framebuffer is doing absolutely nothing atm. My next plan is to try different...

    New problems with 6870 and Mountain Lion

    I'm actually on ML 10.8.3. I was on 10.8 but had no success on that either. I don't use the HDMI ports I use the DVI ones. I have tried AtiConfig=Duckweed along with numerous others but they all produce the same low resolution. There is a problem with the ATI6000Controller.kext in...

    New problems with 6870 and Mountain Lion

    Had a working lion hackintosh with my 6870 and upgraded and forgot to backup /Extra folder so my pre-existing .plist file is gone so I had to start from scratch. I'm having the same problem that I had with Lion where I'm getting no graphics acceleration at all. However, with Lion, it would...

    Problem after swapping i5-2500k with i7-3700k

    I had a working dualboot hackintosh with a i5-2500k and a Gigabyte Motherboard Z68A-D3H-B3. Last night I updated my BIOS to F13 and everything went smoothly. Booted into Mac OS X Lion and Windows 7 and everything worked fine. Today I decided to take the next step and pop in my new i7-3770K. I...

    Hackintosh only recognizing half of ram.

    To late :D I shipped off the patriot ram yesterday for a Rma and recently purchased this new set of ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231519

    Hackintosh only recognizing half of ram.

    So I switched it to 3,1 Mac pro and thankfully it actually booted alright but it still reports 4gbs of ram in Mac os x and chimera. I still think the problem lies within chimera or bios.

    Hackintosh only recognizing half of ram.

    Yeah I was thinking it might be my system profiler. When I get home, I will definetly try that out.

    Hackintosh only recognizing half of ram.

    Actually I removed that exact driver. In fact I wrote a post about needing help with it but I removed it. If its not my system profiler then honestly I'm just going to get new ram because if I can't downgrade (but I can upgrade?) then I have no clue what my problem is. You say it's not hardware...

    Hackintosh only recognizing half of ram.

    I'm running F11, the most up to date version of my mobo. I have a i5 2500k CPU. Running a legit Mac os x lion copy. But I think the problem may lye with my system profile. I somehow changed my system profiler once from a 2008 to a 2010 Mac pro. It caused me to kernel panic every time and totally...

    Hackintosh only recognizing half of ram.

    In my first post, I posted my ram and motherboard which is the only important thing ATM. I'm running lion 10.7.3

    Nice but don't you think the g.skills are better? Higher speed at a lower price?..

    Hackintosh only recognizing half of ram.

    No, the ram I received from best buy, http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+-+Optima+4GB+PC3-10666+DDR3+DIMM+Desktop+Memory/2327496.p?id=1218532316525&skuId=2327496&st=Pny%204gb%20ram&cp=1&lp=3 showed up as 4gb which leads me to believe that my ram simply isnt compatible with my mobo.

    Hackintosh only recognizing half of ram.

    Instead of messing around and trying to fix what seems to be a unsolvable problem, I've chose to request another RMA from newegg and get my money back. I have plans on purchasing this set of sticks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231455 as they are faster and are only...

    Hackintosh only recognizing half of ram.

    :cry: I tried every combination imaginable to man kind. I even tried each individual slot with each stick and only got 2gb of ram per stick, per slot. It looks like for some reason, I just have incompatible ram. My next step is to return for a refund and identify the problem with this particular...
