Hello everyone,

Today I decided to purchase an eMachines (yeah I know...) T3612 for use as a semi HT PC. I want to run OSX on it and I feel that it should properly given the fact that it has:

Intel 945 chipset
Intel GMA 950 onboard
ICH7 SATA (IIRC)

CPU is a 3.4ghz celeron D
512MB RAM (1GB stick coming soon)



But what I'm concerned about is audio. I will be using this for streaming video (MP4 content) from my intel iMac and audio is a must. I believe the audio chipset is of the realtek variety but I am unsure.

I would like the onboard audio to work but I suppose i can do without as external USB boxes work. Anyone have more info on this box or suggestions?

I mean for under $300 after rebate it seems like a nice deal regardless...


TIA!

Well it will work. For the audio... You shall have to get me the Device ID & the Vendor ID of the onboard sound. Do this by installing Windows or using a live Windows CD (like BartPE) and check out the ID's in the device manager.

Well, Im retarded, and I formatted my new emachines 3612 (bought just for this) and I didnt get the device ID's

Anyone get this yet?

Already got this one working cept the front panel I/O's dont work right now. Now the networking thing is the next step.

I tihnk I posted the device ID for the NIC in the wiki...
