We were dreaming about it, and Netkas did. Originating from the Hackintosh projects, those "extensions" can be installed on most PC version of Radeon without requiring to flash the BIOS of those cards. How does it work? In summary, those extensions include part of the EFI code required for the card to be recognized by the Mac and to have them active in Mac OS X. Hereafter are results obtained after installing a Radeon HD 4890 PC version in a Mac Pro 2008:

Hereafter is the procedure to get to this point:

• Install Radeon HD 48x0 drivers shipping with Mac Pro 2009: http://www.sendspace.com/file/gvsi12
• Install extensions allowing recognition of those PC version cards: http://rapidshare.de/files/46982841/ATI_Init.pkg.html
• Install patched extension to activate 3D acceleration (only for cards not recognized by the system as HD 4890): http://rapidshare.de/files/46893369/accel.tar.bz2.html You can also for those cards use the application kexthelper.

This procedure works with most Radeon: HD 4870, 4870X2 (recognized as 2 HD 4870), HD 3870, HD 4890, ... On our card, the first DVI works perfectly as a DVI Dual Link port, while the second one is only a single link. Beside this detail, everything is just working fine. Unlike with the Mac Edition card, such extension-activated card is becoming only active during the loading of Mac OS X and all components, and not immediately after the boot. This could be a problem is you want to boot from another partition or as a single users, however, it is so much easier than flashing the original BIOS of the card, that it should be considered by most users.

애플사에서는 최근 구인광고를 내었는데, 커뮤니케이션 QA 엔지니어를 맥 하드웨어 팀에서 구하고 있다고 하는 군요.

이미 ASUS등 몇몇 업체가 노트북에 WIMAX를 탑재한 노트북은 년초에 출시하였었지만, 맥북도 이러한 추세를 반영하려고 하는 건지....

Apple job posting hints at 3G-capable MacBook

For the last few years, 3G has been one of the most common buzzwords in the technology industry. The iPhone 3G has it right there in the name. Some PC laptops have the functionality built in. Mac notebooks, meanwhile, have had to rely on third-party add-ons. But still rumors have persisted about whether 3G will ever be available as a built-in function of Apple's laptop line?

Our sister publication Computerworld reports that Apple is now advertising a new "Communications QA Engineer" position in the Mac Hardware Group at the Cupertino campus.

The posting specifies the job's description as : "Testing and reporting hardware, software, and device driver bugs for Communications technologies including AirPort (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth v2.0, gigabit Ethernet, and/or 3G Wireless WAN in a detailed, timely manner [emphasis added]."

Could this mean that Apple's adding 3G to the MacBook line? Possibly, but it's still precious little to base any sort of assumption on. For all we know, this could be in reference to testing that encompasses third-party 3G modems to check for interference with the MacBooks' other built-in wireless systems. So don't get too excited just yet.
