I have installed them with the help of "Kext Wizard" but mine still reads 512 MB. Is there any post-install procedure I should be aware of?
Also, are those two "AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext" files actually different one of each other? I just installed one of those and "AppleIntelHD3000Graphics.kext"
TIA

Try deleting the BootCache. It should force a re-scan of needed kexts for your system at next boot and pick up the modified kext.
Sorry my bad... Changed the files re-download them, now there are 3 different files.
For the other part, just follow the know to work instructions....

It should work with all Mac's that have the intel HD 3000
Download kext files and put them on your desktop
Make sure you have disabled SIP
Then run kextbeast
I havent experienced kernel panic myself.

Yes, and it appears that the hack is working.
I guess its not a full Kernel Panic, I'm not sure what to call it. Check out the screenshot.

What Mac are you on? How many RAM do you have? I don't have any knowledge of kernel panic... maybe someone else?

Are the performance gains on this worth doing it? Is it still advisable to use the 256mb dedicated chip for gaming?
Im Sorry to announce, Im leaving this tread. Ive upgraded my logic board on my MBP to a 2012 so I've 1536mb out of the box.
Where did you source your logic board? Was it just a simple drop in into your 2011 chassis?
Just bought it on eBay with 60 days warranty.
It's a perfect fit, but it requires some experience a steady hand a pair of balls.
And if not already switched to, a 2012 Bluetooth card to make it complete.
Ram modules you can keep from your 2011 but I chose to get 16gb of 1600mhz. Just to max out the speed. (Had 16gb 1333mhz in the 2011)
I'm really happy that I no own a MacBook that's only been discontinued last October.
