MSI GeForce 8400 GS Graphics Card offer the HDMI functionality to provide access to premium digital content. HDMI enables gaming enthusiasts to seamlessly connect to their LCD monitor to bring the ultimate multimedia experience.
Pros: It is compatible. I could use the same OSx86 EFI string as my EVGA GeForce 8600 ST 512MB (PCI Express x16); set up the string using EFIStudio; QE/CL works using OSx86 Tools.
Cons: I image my OSx86 partition using Acronis TrueImage and discovered happily that the image from my Supermicro X7DCA-L hackintosh worked almost exactly with my new computer, a Supermicro X7DWA-N. The only thing was the graphics card. But once I just re-did the GFX string with EFIStudio and re-installed the same NX* kexts taken from the System/Library/Extensions folder of my X7DCA-L (using EFIStudio to do so), things are fine.
Overall Review: When installing kexts, the best way is to: 1) Install the kexts using OsX86Tools 2) Restart 3) Open OsX86Tools and tick options: - Set Extensions Permissions & - Clear Extensions Cache. Give your password when asked and wait until it finishes the job. Do not restart 4) Close OsX86Tools and open Disk Utility (find it in Applications Folder /Utilites). Mark your installation disk and click on permissions repair. Close it after finishing the job 5) Go to system/library/extensions and delete Extensions.mkext. Give your password to delete it and empty your trash. 6) Restart
