I'm want to install OSX86 10.4.1 and I think I install 10.4.3. I wonder what CPU and motherboard will work best. I think Intel Pentium 4 800 3 Ghz is a good choice. I am looking for a good motherboard. The motherboard that I'm looking for sholud:

- works with Intel Pentium 4 and work in OSX86 10.4.1 and 10.4.3
- integrated sound cards that works in OSX86 (I need microphone support)
- integrated Ethernet network card with out RJ-45 (UTP) to connect my cable modem Motorola Surfboard SB5100E. I know that this modem won't work on USB (no USB drivers for Mac OS, but does it work on ethernet card connection?
- quite cheap

If see list of supported motherboards on wiki, but this list isn't full and there's ony little information about microphone.

What model can you recommend me?

Thank you in advance for your help.

The "most" compatible is one with Intel 915G chipset.

Would http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16856101473 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819116198 work well?

Under 10.4.3, 945G works; my motherboard runs great, aside from the onboard ethernet, but a cheapo old intel pro100 fixed that.
EDIT: oops, it is my 915g system that had the weird broadcom, this one has onboard intel that works.

ASUS P5LD2-VM Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 945G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail, about $105

10.4.3 works and no kext editing needed, including audio, ethernet, QuartzE/CoreIm, USB
Has 2 separate IDE channels. SATA works as well. Just add LGA 775 Intel CPU and DDR2 memory and 24 pin ATX PSU.

Have not checked audio in, mic. No Raid.
