Froghunter Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Sorry to ask for clarification, but when you say 100%, you mean you are getting HD over the HDMI, with audio? and the Lan appears to work? I am building an HTPC with this board, and due to bad linux support was going to do XP with XBMC, but now that I see this, I think it might be a better option. Any thoughts or recommendations on this? Also, was going to do an IR receiver, sound good with Mira? Thanks, I appreciate it. I am a total Mac noob.

Froghunter Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Sorry for that last post, I have since started actually working on the install and don't have these same questions. But I did have a question for S1L3N7D3A7H. I am using the same graphics card, though a different method, using a 123-boot cd and retail DVD install method. When you did the install, how was your northbridge set in BIOS? Did you do IGP initially and then switch to PGE/PCI? I am having problems where if I swtich away from IGP after install, leopard won't boot. I am working on updates, then EFI studio for the strings, but feel like I am missing some fundamental step which as a n00b I am missing. Thanks again and hopefully you still check this thread.
