I am building an OSx86 box using a few pieces I already own but am also on a small budget less than $200 .

 

I currently have a Pentium D socket 775 2.6 dual core

2gb of DDR400

Nvidia 6200GT AGP Graphics card and a ATI 9600PRO AGP graphics card.

 

 

I would like to be able to play World of Warcraft on OSX86

 

 

What is the best OSX working out of box motherboard for my CPU?.

 

And what is better 1GB of DDR2 667 (all i can afford) or using my 2GB of DDR400

 

Is AGP is out of the question. Is ther ea motherboard with a fully working on board video to use until I save up for a ATI 1900xt

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well I'm not for sure but if you can't afford a MacBook Pro motherboard then how can you afford the much higher-end Mac Pro motherboard?

 

Besides, an Apple board is not required, and in fact it wouldn't even require OS X86, since the board would have a TPM chip installed, it would be able to run a real Mac installation disk. With a Mac Pro motherboard it basically would be a Mac, only with all the parts replaced. I'm also not sure that your processor will fit into the socket.

 

Look around on the forums for the best motherboard to use and which one is fully compatible with x86.

If you get a Mac Pro motherboard, then for the price of it you probably could get a low end iMac, or a maxed out Mac Mini.
