sawwal Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Dear friends, Please, advise me a motherboard for MacOS, for such requirements. Motherboard with Socket 775 (for Intel Core Duo), with integrated video and DVI (I wish to connect 26" monitor with 1920x1200, excellent text quality is necessary, but separate videocard it would not be desirable for money and power reasons). Not less than two PCI, not less than two PCI-E, Not less than four (but more - is better) SATA (RAID is not obligatory), it is desirable Not less than one FireWire, one COM-port and one PATA, and it is desirable - more than two memory slots. It is desirable - 1000 MB Ethernet. Motherboard should be qualitative and all these devices should be are compatible with MacOS 10.5.x. Many thanks!!!

Khan_Man Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hi Sawwal, First thing to do is head over to the wiki and check out the HCL. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page It seems that the Intel chips sets are easier to get working than the nVidia. Some of the most used board are: Intel D975XBX2 (pretty old but well studied), Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3 or GA-EP35-DS4, Asrock Conroe 1333, ASUS P5K... but U're gonna have to look around. If U are into 771 processors check out: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=82548 There are also threads on x38 and x48 boards: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...1526&hl=x38 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=84780 but really, U are going to have to spend some time, look around and do your homework.
