However, in order to make use of all network card (adapter) features, you must install a proper LAN driver that enables the hardware. This task enables systems to connect to a network, as well as collect all component characteristics such as manufacturer and chipset.

You probably already know that each network interface card (NIC) on a network must have a media access control (MAC) address. Each address must be unique to the network, and should be globally unique. However, you might have the need to change the MAC address on a system. Here’s how to do it when you’re running Windows with an Intel Ethernet NIC.

Steps to Change the MAC Address

The steps assume that you’ve already installed the Intel PROSet drivers for your Ethernet NIC. If you’ve not yet done that, you can get the driver installer package from Intel® Download Center.

Open Control Panel, then click on Network and Sharing Center.

In the Network and Sharing Center windows, click on Change Adapter Settings in the left pane. This displays the Network Connections list as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. The list of physical and virtual network adapters.

Right-click on the connection that you want to change and then click Properties to bring up the network connection properties as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. The network connection properties.

Apple keeps changing their Mac OS and Visioneer will not update the driver for my scanner. VueScan keeps my Visioneer scanner operating with each new Mac OS version that comes around. Boo for Visioneer - Kudos for VueScan! Visioneer strobe 500 software download.

You want to manage the properties of the NIC itself, not protocol properties like TCP/IP or NetBIOS. To manage NIC properties, click the Configure… button directly under the adapter name. This will bring up the NIC properties as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. The network adapter properties.

Did you notice that there are more tabs along the top of this dialog box than other network adapters? That’s the Intel PROSet drivers in action. They expose many more configuration options than the typical drivers.

To change the MAC address, first click the Advanced tab, and under Settings click Locally Administered Address. This allows you to specify a new MAC address as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4. Setting the new MAC address.

In this example, I’m setting the MAC address for this NIC to DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE. That should be easy for me to remember and verify, as I’m a carnivore. Then I click OK to apply the change. The network connection will be down for a moment while it restarts with the new MAC address.

Finally, to verify the change was made I’ll use getmac.exe.

Figure 5. Success! The MAC address has indeed changed.

There you go. The MAC address is verified as DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE or DE-AD-BE-EF-CA-FE or DEADBEEFCAFE (depending on which tool you use to view it).

Enjoy!

About shared memory

Some Intel-based Mac computers feature both an integrated and a discrete Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Others may feature only one GPU, which can be either an integrated or discrete GPU.
A discrete GPU provides high-performance graphics support using discrete video memory. An integrated GPU provides effective graphics support and shares video memory with the main system.
For Mac computers with both integrated and discrete GPUs, some models allow you to use macOS to decide which GPU to use for rendering graphics. Other models automatically switch between discrete and integrated graphics depending on the task. For more information on models that switch between integrated and discrete GPUs, see:

Intel G33 G31 Graphics Driver

Graphics performance

For best graphics performance, your computer should have two same-size SO-DIMMs installed, one in each slot. When memory is installed in your Mac in same-size pairs, the computer gains some performance benefits from the memory being interleaved.

If you upgrade the memory in your Mac, make sure you have matching SO-DIMMs (both in memory size and speed) in each slot for the best graphics performance. Systems with integrated memory already benefit from having matched pairs of memory installed.
