EachdeviceIDhelpsMacOSXrecognizeyourHD4000graphicsinaslightlydifferentway.Thenumberof"Ports"isthe
numberofinputports(suchasDVI,HDMI,etc.)thatwillworkwitheachdeviceID.Youprobablywanttochoosea

The"0"standsfor01660000,thefirstdeviceID.IfyouwanttousedeviceID01660001instead,replace"0"with"1".And
soon.
3.AdjustyourBIOS
YouneedtochangetheamountofinternalgraphicsmemoryusedbyMacOSXtowhateverthedeviceIDspecifies.You
candothisinyourcomputer'sBIOS(whichisessentiallythesettingspageforyourmotherboard).Bootyourcomputer,and
entertheBIOS.ToentertheBIOSonaGigabytemotherboard,youhavetopressthedeletekeywhenitboots(beforethe
operatingsystemstarts).DifferentmanufacturerssetdifferentkeysforopeningtheBIOS.
ThespecificnamefortheBIOSsettingthatdeterminesinternalgraphicsmemorysizedependsonthebrandofyour
motherboard.OnGigabytemotherboards,thissettingisliterallycalled"InternalGraphicsMemorySize".
Besuretoadjustthesettingfor"InternalGraphicsMemorySize",not"DVMTTotalMemorySize"(asMacOSXignores
thissetting).
Saythatyou'reusingdeviceID01660000.AccordingtochartinStep3,thatdeviceIDrequires96MBofmemory.Inthat
case,set"InternalGraphicsMemorySize"to96MBinyourBIOS.ThenpressF10tosaveyourchangesandleavethe
BIOS.
4.Testitout
RebootyourHackintosh.Onceyou'vebootedinMacOSX,checkwhetheryoucanchangethescreenresolution,etc.If
not,thenyou'llhavetotryadifferentdeviceID.RepeatStep2and3.Hopefully,you'lleventuallyfindadeviceIDthat
worksforyourHackintosh.
