Really Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Is there like a specific stable hardware configuration that is generally recognized as being the fastest overclocked hackintosh setup in existence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomo Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 well unless u wanna server board probably this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115044 but then again it's not lga 775 and usually the motherboards used on here are so this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 well unless u wanna server board probably this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115044 Yes, that should be the fastest one, but once the Nehalems become available, previous CPUs will probably feel like slugs on valium. Besides, personally I'd never spend that much money on a CPU. I'd rather add something and buy a Mac Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomo Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 agreed better bang for ur buck with a mac pro when u get up that high in cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yeah. That CPU plus the Skulltrail will be over 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It would depend what you mean by fastest. Fastest as in, more than 2 cores at the highest frequencies? Or Fastest as in, 2 cores at the highest clocked frequencies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 If you're building a Hack I would recommend the Q9300 or E8500 both have excellent bang for the buck. I love my Q9300, and was multi core support gets better it will really outshine the core two duos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Intel is coming out with the Q8200, quad core, 2.33 ghz per core, 45 nm, and a rumored price of $224. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbetts Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 If I remember right, Nehalem is supposed to be the last of the lga775. Could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 nehalem (sp?) will use a new socket. the socket will have around 1300 pins depending on which model (server/pro, desktop, mobile). the consumer versions will coming out third quarter of 2009, so a while away. the exact socket that will be replacing LGA775 is called Socket B or LGA1366. more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalem_%28microarchitecture%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA1366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
