GA-EP43-UD3L for os x sound and graphic card notes

using Iantares 10.6.3 version, installation was very smooth without any heck up. Everything works bu no sound and no graphic support other than 1024 by 768.
1. using this method to make sound works, downloaded acl1062.zip and followed the instruction.
2. using nvenabler.kext 64 bit, after restart, works like a charm!
the kext installation helper software makes everything easy.

update1: if 2 does not work, try this methods .

next step was to install retail version with bootloader.

update2: tried lots methods for the retail, no luck, give up.

Update 3 on Sept 20 2011:
get the Lion installed very easily, after installation, no sound and graphic not ready. Use the above methods to fix both.Wonderful!

recover windos xp administrator password

if you forget the password, one way (time consuming but worked for me) is to use xp install cd. boot from the CD, on the first window choose install (don't choose repair at this point), then on the second window ask you install, repair or exit, choose repair by press R, then wait the system copy lots files . the system will restart, when the windows start install driver, press"shift+F10" at the same time, this will give you a command window. Now you can type "Lusrmgr.msc" and the local user and group management pop up. Now you can change, reset, and delete any account's password.
close local user management window and the command window, let windows repair process go through.
