Marklar-Tiger-release1 支持比较多的intel chipset

Question

== Motherboard Chipsets ==

Another big one that causes a world of rumors to abound, so let's nip this one in the bud and repeat the note above: the more Intel hardware you have, the better your chance(s) for installation success.

- Intel 845 chipsets (I have one in my Dell Inspiron laptop, no issues, and many others have success with it also)
- Intel 865 chipsets (lots of success reports with this one, so it works)
- Intel 915 chipsets (this is what the Devkit PC is based upon, so obviously if you have this chipset you are practically guaranteed success when installing OSx86.
- VIA K8 chipsets (numerous reports of success so I'm confident it works)
- SiS chipsets (I have one report of success so... your mileage may vary)
- ATI chipsets (I have several reports of success with the IGP 9xx chipsets, again your mileage may vary)

Anything else either doesn't work at all (on some like the Intel 850 people can't even boot from the DVD) so you're out of luck with that hardware. No reports for the Intel 945 were sent in either, so we will just assume it's a no-go.

I decided to talk about the Nvidia Nforce chipsets slightly differently at this point. They're popular, of course, but nowhere near as popular (based on sheer numbers) as Intel and VIA-based motherboards. Also, people are having issues with Nforce chipsets, most specifically with the hard drive controllers that come as part of these chipsets.

At the moment, the Darwin kexts support only 3 particular instances of Nforce ATA controllers, and that's not much - there are 12 varieties that we know of. If you luck out and get proper kext support (meaning you have one of those 3 chipsets specifically) great, but if not, Darwin/OSx86 will revert to using the AppleGenericPCATA driver and performance will suffer tremendously. It works, mind you, just very slowly - like a few megs per second on disk operations. If you lucked out and get proper kext support, performance is vastly improved, of course.

记得做个有种的人～～
