Where did you get your DSDT file? Just wonderin' 'cuz the size of my DSDT is 16K (from the OP zip on the 1st pg) and your DSDT in the zip you provided is 20K ... I wonder what's the diff. in it.

GA-g31m-es2l R2.0 with nvidia 7300 GT 256mb
Hi! I'm new in this forum, I'm already registred in the InsanelyMac forum with the same nick name.
I bought a GA-g31m-es2l R2.0 and installed with Snow Leopard Retail of this guide. Seems work fine. Can I boot in x64 with a GF 7300 GT or is supported only in x32 mode? Sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian. Thanks |

Audio Pain, 10.6.4 etc.
I could not get audio to work after moving to 10.6.3 no matter how hard I tried. So i did something drastic:
Got a USB stereo adapter. You may pick any of the ones available; I picked the one that works without drivers for OSX. The one I chose was the Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter based on the C-Media Chipset. http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-CM-UAU.../dp/B001MSS6CS. Why? It is 9.99 at Amazon. Step 1. Remove all audio related kexts from /Extra/Extensions. In my case they were AppleHDA.kext and LegacyALC883.kext. Step 2: REMOVE /Extra/Extensions/SleepEnabler.kext. This is to avoid a kernel panic when you install 10.6.4 Step 3: Rebuild /Extra/Extensions.mkext. Use mkexttool.app or the following command line: sudo kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /Extra/Extensions.mkext /Extra/Extensions You can optimize based on if you are running 32 bit mode or 6 bit mode by using only the -a i386 or -a x86_64 respectively. Step 3: Download Updates 10.6.4 Pretty big. Reboot. Step 4: Attach the USB sound device and plug in speaker and microphone inputs. Make sure that everything is pushed in completely. Step 5: Go to System Preferences -> Sound. You should see C-Media USB Audio. Make sure the volume for microphone is set properly. Mine was set to minimum. There seems to be a new SleepEnabler out but some people have had issues with it. So I am waiting for the jury. |

Hi, new to the board here. I'm just cross posting on this forum as well to share my experience installing SL 10.6.3 on the Ga-G31m-es2l board.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3080 Cliff notes: I used the iBoot method and was able to successfully install. As expected sound, lan, and sleep are not working but am looking into it. I can also verify that the network drivers work from this link http://code.google.com/p/iats/downloads/list worked for me. Last edited by JertheMacUser; 06-21-2010 at 02:05 AM. |

hello there,
being a user of a G31M-ES2L rev. 1, I'd really like to be able to use the top-of-the-art DSDT provided on the first page, but actually, when I just put it into my /E/E (using C2 pré RC5, boothfs / fdisk440 flavour, so that my W7 x64 can sleep), my boot hangs after lots of messages about vmware fusion modules loading. obviously, I'm missing something : any clue ? another question : what am I supposed to do with the ES2Lw/allcurrentfixes.dsl file ? must I just compile it then try to boot ?? for now I'm kind of lost, so any help would be appreciated ... |

I used this guide and am now at 10.6.3, Sleep is a problem though. Sometimes sleep works and I can wakeup the system.
Sometimes, the motherboard wakes up, the CPU fans spins but I cannot get the display back and I have to reboot. I also get the USB device error if a USB device was plugged in before going to sleep. I have the v2 board with the ar8131 kext for Ethernet. |

Has anyone encountered the following sleep issues ?
Sometimes the system goes to sleep and clicking the mouse brings it back on. sometimes the system wakes up, but the display is still black and the display does not come back online. Just wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and what the fix might be ? I have the v2 ES2l board with the ar8131 ethernet drivers. Graphics is a Gigabyte 8500GT 512MB card. |

Benchmark of quad core vs dual core on G31M-ES2L
I took the plunge and ordered a quad core Q8300 and fitted it to replace my E6300 dual core. I do a lot of video rework and wanted multiple cores.
The older dual core is 2.8GHz, the newer quad core is 2.5Ghz. I figured the slight loss in outright speed is made up by the fact I now have four cores. I know I can overclock CPU's but that is absolutely not on the cards, so it'll stay at 2.5Ghz. I benchmarked the dual core first.

There doesn't appear to be any major different in me using the quad core, nothing appears any quicker on the user interface, which is much as I'd expect. I hope Final Cut and Handbrake see the benefit though. If not then the quad core will go into a VMWare esxi server and I'll drop the dual core back in. Hope this helps somebody, Rob. |
