This is a component level hardware compatibility list. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying hardware. Add which parts
you have working in the categories listed below, or create a new category. Please keep alphabetical order inside the categories. The categories themselves are ordered by popularity. macOS 10.5.4

Please list any caveats or problems as well. Hardware

Compatibility
ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
Please add hardware into tables. Portable

P5KPL-AM Northbridge: PC-EFI: All patches included with

Intel G31 Install Method: iAtkos 4.1i unknown iAtkos 4.1i, didn't install
BIOS Version/Revision: Unknown (factory default, no updates) additional patches.
Southbridge: Audio: VIA VT 1708B (patches: none, works out of the box) Vanilla:
Intel ICH7 LAN: Realtek RTL8102EL (patches: Realtek R1000, works) unknown
SATA: default BIOS options, no patches.
IDE: disabled (SATA hard drive and DVD drive in my case)
Optical Drive: Optiarc SATA DVD-RW, no problems during install, no IDE DVD at all.
Shutdown, reboot and sleep all work out of the box.
Other details:

PS/2 Keyboard & Mouse, even during install. No patches. No USB ones needed.

Video board: first I installed NVKush, NVDarwin and NVInject and got NVIDIA 8500 GT 512NVRAM recognized but without QE/CI.
Then removed /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.mkext and /System/Library/Extensions.mkext (do this as root from bash),
rebooted and it just worked. Haven't tried to get IGP working (Intel 3100), but it isn't detected by Windows too, anyway, because I put
PEG/PCI instead of PEG/IGP in BIOS :P (I'll try and post results later). <edit> Ok, tried PEG/IGP and it doesn't work, it seems to be a
motherboard/chipset hardware issue. However my NVIDIA external card has both DVI and VGA output. Using a DVI-to-VGA converter
and using second VGA output to second monitor did work out of the box (in both Windows & Mac). </edit>
 Multiboot: had Windows XP installed before installing iAtkos. iAtkos installed multiboot gestor, recognized Windows XP and both O.S.
boot just right. I had to create a new partition on empty space with fdisk, and set type to 0xAF (not sure, type help and use HFS+
number which I think it is AF), then go to disk utility and format it but don't put spaces in the volume name (such as Mac OS X, My
disk, Spaces between words, etc...) or NVKush and other patches will fail to install.

Patches selected for install: Bootloaders: Darwin EFI Bootloader & Chameleon Bootloader; Additional Patches: Software Update
Enabler & OHR; Drivers: NVkush, NVinject (don't install if you have 8500gt and want QE/CI), EFI strings for NVIDIA, 8xxx, 8500 GT
512MB, Intel ICHX SATA, Other Intel SATA, Speedstep, Intel Speedstep new, NTFS-3G & Realtek R1000.
