Intel DH67GD mobo, integrated HD3000 graphics

[Robo2k]

has anyone got some experience with OS X on the intel DH67GD mobo? I find it tempting because it's one of the few featuring firewire onboard. And it's cheap.

Another question: does HD3000 graphics (from the i7 2600 for example) support QE/CI?

Thanks for your expertise, keep up the good work.

Don't think integrated graphics work yet, also the asus sabertooth comes with two FireWire ports. They work oob.

well i will give it a try anyway, i have a flawless working 5850 as a fallback option.

I've looked at the sabertooth but it has way too many features i will never need. Also it's much too expensive. I'm neither a gamer nor an overclocker. I need a muscular mac for sound production.

I'll report on the results next week.

I got the hardware today. after some unsuccessful attempts with iBoot i switched to iboot legacy. the system is installing right now. i'm using the integrated gfx, so far standard vesa resolution over DVI.

more in about 30 mintues

system:

Intel mobo DH67GD mATX
i7 2600
8 GB kingston hyperx CL7 memory
1 TB WD 1002FAEX SATA-III

system has restarted successfully after install.

feels very quick even in comparaison to the q9650 i used before

LAN and firewire work out of the box, that's nice.

Are you using the IGP then? Have you been able to get better than VESA?

Hi!
I am also trying to setup MAC OSx on the DH67GD board with i7-2600 and am shopping around for hardware, got the motherboard and CPU. Looking at a graphics card that will serve dual function for Win7 gaming and also the MAC OSx. I am looking at using the Sapphire HD6790, any idea if this graphics card will work. Would appreciate inputs before I purchase the card.

Thanks
KatanaS
