IvanK Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Now, I know you guys are probably tiered of all the "will this work" requests, but I really need an expert opinion on this one. I've done some research and I think I've found a working configuration, but it'll be great if you could confirm that there are no major issues with this configuration. Anyway, here it is (made by mainly tweaking the I Stuff Make's one): Motherboard: Asus P5W, i975X, LGA775, DDR2, 2xPCI Express, CrossFire, Dolby SB7.1, 2xLan1000, 802.11g, SerialATA, Raid 0,1,5, 2x1394, ATX Video Card: GF 8600GT 512MB 128bit DDR2 PCI Express, DVI, TV Out Processor: Core 2 Duo E6550 (2.33GHz, 4MB, 1333MHz FSB, s775) Hard Disk: 320 Samsung, SerialATA, 7200, 16MB RAM: 2GB DDR-2 800MHZ Will this work out of the box? Any major issues? Can I change something to add performance, while staying in this price range? Anyway, thanks in advance.

Atze de Vries Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I had the same system, only the VideoCard didn't work (by XFX) an i replaced it by a 7300GT.

IvanK Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've seen the 8600GT used in other configurations, and some info that it's "already supported" so I think I'll try it and see what happens. Anyway 10x for the help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107924-asus-p5w-gf-8600gt-core2d/#findComment-767861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alamoa Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I have installed in a similar config, kaly 10.5.2 + latest nvinject for 8600GT+ patch for sound, as it was for a friend I dont have the drivers with me now. The only pro we had was with dual monitor. It worked by using a digital to vga adaptor. my friend is very happy so far.
