zalg Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hi, I'm trying to make my own little hackintosh and plan to use a antec NSK2480 case (for the noise + small size) so I will need to have a micro atx motherboard... I can't seem to find any good motherboard for core 2 duo with esata and raid that would work ou of the box with leopard. Any recommendations? I plan on overclocking a bit the e8200 so it would be good also if the motherboard has a lot of settings for overclocking... EDIT: After a looking around a bit more I found two motherboards that might potentially be interesting - ASUS P5E-VM HDMI it has raid and 6 sata ports... But I don't know if it works well with os x. If this motherboards graphic chip and dual monitor supported works perfectly (with QE, CI) I would get this motherboard (I don't care about games much but I want to have two monitors... so if it's integrated in the mother board it could save me quite a bit of cash) - GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R It seems according to http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=71338 but I'm not sure if raid works correctly or not? Anyway if anybody can help me choose or recommend other motherboards, it would be great ;-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110521-supported-micro-atx-motherboard-with-esataraid-0-supportwifi/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 About the motherboards, I suggest just search the forum (from google)...The G33M-DS2R is known to work well. The OSX86 wiki is a great resource too. About RAID, it works only for the Bad Axe natively, read these threads: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78862 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=105657 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=88799 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110521-supported-micro-atx-motherboard-with-esataraid-0-supportwifi/#findComment-783810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalg Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Since raid doesn't work, I think I'll get either an Asus P5K-VM or a GA-G33M-DS2R, from reading the thread it seems that the Asus P5K-VM would be easier to set up... But I'm not so sure.... I also want to make sure that it supports more than 4 GB ram without crashing. Would it be a problem with any of those two mother boards?
