Processors

OS X seems to work with all processors that Intel recommends as compatible with this board. If you are using a newer processor, such as the "Wolfdale" 8000 series, you may need to update the BIOS in order for it to be recognized properly and run at full speed.
Onboard Audio

The DG33TL has a SigmaTel STAC9271D Audio Chipset. Audio will not work out of the box with current distributions of OSX.

Kext for onboard soundcard can be found here .

The mute function did not work for some users with the kexts previously linked, however onboard audio is fully functional with the above kexts. .

However Mute and Mic In works with the latest VoodooHDA kext.
Onboard LAN

The DG33TL has an Intel 82566DC LAN Controller. Onboard LAN currently works with iDeneb 10.5.6 if Intel 82566DC LAN controller is selected at install. If you do not have the iDeneb 10.5.6 distro you can download the kext from here Users have also reported success with PCI and USB solutions. Please review the hardware compatibility lists for your version of OSX. . . .
Onboard Video

The DG33TL has an Intel GMA 3100 Graphics Controller. Onboard video does not currently work. Users have reported success with various PCI-E video cards, including nVidia 6, 7, 8 and 9 series cards. .

nVidia cards may need the appropriate nvinject kext, which are included in the Kalyway installation DVD.
IDE Controller

During installation, users have reported failures when attempting to use IDE drives, in particular IDE Optical Drives. Some users have reported success by selecting VIA
SATA Controller

It is recommended to use SATA0 for your hard disk, and SATA1 for your optical drive during installation. Additional drives can be added post installation. . .
Hard Drives

It is recommended that you format your hard disk as a Master Boot Record for Leopard & GUID for Snow Leopard. This can be done in Disk Utility, under the partition tab. Choose the partition you are going to install the system on and click options. If you do not format the disk correctly, you will not be able to boot without the install DVD in the DVD drive. .
Recommended BIOS settings

It is recommended to change your hard drives to AHCI (as opposed to RAID or Legacy). If you intend to dual boot your computer, the IDE setting works in Kalaway 10.5.2 and MBR.
