Fantastic simple idea! I'm going to create a test install for upgrades right now!

I switched also to Virtual box when vmware stopped being free and I'm in love with it.

My card is dual DVI and both ports works using efi string. I remember osx86tools allows you to select the outputs of the card when creating the custom efi string, you can try it.

I can put the screen to sleep using exposé.. I haven't tried anything else...

Hi, Again, Tony and the other contributors, big thanks for the easy guides, you make our life a lot easier. I just updated to 10.6.3 and the other two updates available, I'm using my signature hardware with Tony DSDT. - My hard drives show grey color as always, I have not applied any kext to...

Glad to read it, it is funny how the same solution sometimes does not work for different people :crazy:

Try a EFI string, I used osx86tools to create a custom string for my 9800gt and it works great for me in 10.6.2. Remove nv enabler and GraphicsEnabler=No string in com.apple.boot.plist

Guys, I got the GA-P55M-UD2 too and it has nice overclock possibilities. I'm not into overclocking so I don't know what better boards have, but in this one you can change base clock, voltages, etc...

One of my new NEC monitors arrived, I made some test with the NEC and with an old 17'' LG CRT and: - Both DVI outputs in the card work. - Using Extended desktop (not mirroring) I can change resolutions without issues, I can run the NEC on 1920x1080 (1080p) and the CRT in 1024x768. - The CRT...

Well, I don't know what happened but all of a sudden it stopped working properly... so in the end I used osx86tools to create a custom EFi string and now is working perfectly.

Solved the screen resolution issue going back to no NV enabler and changing the DVi port :D What will happen when I have the two monitors? Will they both work ok? Stay tuned for images of our next episode...

Thanks! So I'm back to GraphicsEnabler=Yes and no NV enabler, test with front row and ok. Funny thing, changed to the other DVI port and now I can change the screen resolution :lol: System profiler sees my card correctly, even the amount of memory :clap:

Hi guys, well... I used the USB method and was able to install and later update to 10.6.2. I found known issue that I was unable to change the resolution, so using multibeast I installed nv enabler... and now I have a really bad performance on graphics effects, like the windows minimizing to...

Hi, I just installed NV enabler using multibeast because I had issues changing the screen resolution (blue screen). After Install, I had the blue screen on startup... :x , so I had to boot on safe mode, and after disabling GraphicsEnabler, I can boot normally... but my problem now is that...

Thanks again, I have already updated bios to F8 and will be installing SL soon.

Hi again, finally got my pieces except the monitors, in the end I downgraded to a 9800GT and CL 9 memory to save a some bucks. I mounted everything and tested with Windows 7, so far so good, but I noticed my motherboard (p55m-ud2) is revision 1.1, any significant difference with 1.0? Will the...

I'm looking for a quiet system, not silent. This small difference improves performance and reduce costs :D , I don't plan to leave the system plugged over the night so I don't need absolute silence, just something not disturbing. My selection of components is a compromise between budget and...

thelostwede, the gigabyte card you are using has two DVI outs? I prefer to go for a car proven to work with dual monitors...

My prefered option was the DELL 2209WA listed at 309$ in USA (228€), but damm, in Spain DELL asks 404€... it's almost double the price!!! The LG was just released in Germany, I hope it to spread over europe quickly enough so I can get them and save some bucks, those have an HDMI which is a...

Thanks for the quick responses. I read about the memory in other posts, and in the motherboard manual it says 1.5v memories, so I found this 4Gb kit: GeIL Kit DIMM 4 GB DDR3-1333 (GV34GB1333C7DC) In the motherboard memory compatibility list the GV32GB1333C7DC is listed, so I expect them to work...
