izzysanime Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 hi, I'm not sure if my post was deleted, i would think it would be nice if one told me why. But here it is again, I was looking at a EVGA 112-CK-NF77 motherboard because it had DVI in it. I was wondering if anyone had experience with one, or if one could recommend a similar motherboard that had DVI in it. Thanks, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Well, I wouldn't recommend that motherboard, it's based on Nforce chipset which isn't very compatible with OS X. If you want DVI, either get a discrete GFX card or one of the working ASRock motherboards with GMA 950 onboard and DVI-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzysanime Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 I was getting a intel core 2 chip. THe only ones i see on newegg with graphics onboard are for amd, the intel ones dont have graphics. Thanks, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzysanime Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 I was looking at this mother board - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813157119 and this grphics card that does not have nforce like you said - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130085 The motherboards did not have any dvi ports on them, one had a VGA, but thats it. so i settled for the separate ones. I was hoping for a board with more options, like exteranal SATA, gigabit ethernet. But if the ASRock boards are the best for macs, then I will get that.

izzysanime Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi, EVGA 512-P2-N756-TR GeForce 8600 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130292 Now, I noticed others on this forum having to modify the system for some 8600 cards to work. Is it fairly simple to do so, or does anyone have a recommendation for a graphics card (with DVI) under $100 that will work? A card that supports dual screens would be great to happy.gif.
