Hi,

I'm just about to some new hardware for my macintel. I'm getting a P4 D 3.4 and i'd like some advice on the motherboard.

I beleive a 945G chipset is best but I want to use the Intel 950 Graphics controller with a DVI output.
I understand you can get a ADD2 DVI card?

What bouard would be best for this and what ADD2 card?

I have been looking at the Asus P5LD-V and Gigabyte 8I945GHH-RA but I haven't been able to find anything about this ADD2 card.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You have to search the forum and look over the HCL's for reports on the Ethernet and audio chips on these boards to make sure they work, but they should be fine. Intel also makes a vairety of boards that work good too.
