gbuster Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi, I've been watching this forum for quite a long time now and I also installed OSX 10.4 more or less successful on IBM T-Pad T42. Now I want to build a new system (in a G5 case I already ordererd)…I decided to go for a Core 2 Quad Q9450 CPU..so far so good. I looked through the HCL and picked 2 possible boards: - GA-P35-DS4 - Intel D975XBX2 "Bad Axe 2" / Intel D975XBXLKR I want to do some gaming on this setup, but above all I want a rockstable OS X 10.5.3 system which is as compatible as possible (and "hassle-free" to install )… Atm I consider as graphics card a GeForce 8600GTS…so I already have a general idea of the hardware setup but I would highly appreciate any advice or hints on the hardware setup I chose…especially which one of those 2 motherboards I should go for… Thanx in advance and keep up the good work you do here!

thevoiceover Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 /push please don't ban me but I badly need an answer on this since I want to get things done (...) Did you ever decide? Have you heard if this processor runs ok with OSX? What about the GIGABYTE GA-EP35 ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbuster Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yeah, I decided to go for a GA Ep35-DS4 and everything runs fine now! The CPU is supported by OSX...and after some tweaking the System Profiler shows correct values now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
