I just need a blessing to approach or a recommendation for this this build. (10.5.1)
here are the specs.

Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L Socket 775 Intel G31 + ICH7 Dual-Channel DDR2 800/667Mhz GigaLAN 5.1 Ch Audio Support 1333Mhz FSB


Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

8600GT

DDRII800 4GB RAM


thank you.

I'm interested in same MoBo but am concerned with the GMA 3100 vid chip. anyone have anything to report?

I checked out the WiKi it seems that everything works out of the box except the audio. you have to patch it.

Looks fine since you're not using the onboard video, onin.

I think desktop users wanting something newer than 945 are SOL if they want to use onboard video at the moment. It's not like something basic like an X1300 or 7300 is expensive, so I really wouldn't bother pursuing onboard, hfiend.

I use a C2D 2ghz MacMini 2GBram as my everyday machine, a full blown PC for gaming and I hook up them both using a KVM on my 24in monitor. I'm still debating myself to build this Hackint0sh project or just buy a 24in iMac. thats gonna be an instant dual 24in monitor setup for me. anyway I'm still gonna research if I can use this Hackint0sh for everyday use thanks for the reply.

The Hackintosh will work pretty much perfectly, you can use it for everyday stuff, but why not just buy the iMac? The advantages are it is super quiet and sleeps properly...
