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.

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.

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).

Offering up to an astonishing 2.4x of extra processing power for your computer's integrated graphics engine, the GMABooster is a must-have tool for every user interested in advanced 3D gaming, truly flawless Windows Vista and Mac OS X experience, smoother operation of Google Earth, improved video playback, and performance gain in a variety of professional applications!
GMABooster is a free ('donateware') program, available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. You can endlessly use it without charge: just download a new weekly build once the previous weekly build has expired. However, if You like GMABooster and use it often, You are welcome to make a voluntary donation.
Supported operating systems: Mac® OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or higher.
Prerequisite: free Apple® CHUD Tools 4.6 (needed to enable raw hardware access).
Program usage: unzip, then double-click a GMABoosterX_CLI icon and follow the simple on screen instructions. Important! Please make sure You logged in as root (or just run the program with administrative privileges).
Supported chipsets: Intel® 945GM/GME/GMS/GSE and 943/940GML/GU Express featuring GMA 950.
Supported Apple® devices: Mac® Mini, MacBook® family (models built on a compatible chipset).
Supported PC devices: any device built on a compatible chipset with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or higher installed.
How does it work?
A short preamble is needed to explain what makes a GMABooster technology possible. Let's consider an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (GMA 950). This integrated solution, while not fully supporting the latest and the most demanding games, still allows a user to enjoy the mass of brilliant gaming hits of all genres. GMA 950 does also fully support Aero and QuartzGL (enhanced GPU-driven user interfaces of Windows Vista and Mac OS X). It features a basic video playback acceleration, as well.
However, if You have own a laptop/netbook/nettop computer built on Intel 945GM/GME/GMS or GSE943/940GML/GU Express chipset, the above statements may not be truth for You. These all chipsets are LV (low voltage) versions of what we normally call Intel 945. Thus, integrated graphics core has been underclocked dramatically: 166/133 MHz instead of 400 MHz (default GMA clock in a 'normal' Intel 945 chipset). But the truth is, the indicated devices could handle up to 400 MHz with ease: at a nominal low voltage, without the loss of system stability, and with minimal to none impact on thermal specifications/battery life (proven by preliminary testing).
Here the GMABooster comes! It allows a user, not a manufacturer to choose the desired GMA speed. It combines a sophisticated assembler-level technology and the user-friendly graphic user interface, offering You to near double the GMA core perfomance without even a need to restart a computer. GMABooster may be considered as a safe, free, 'software-level' GPU core upgrade!
