Hagar Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Im aware of the hardware support wiki's- i was wondering which boards with quad support & firewire come recommended? THE ONES LISTED ON THE WIKI!!!! - the whole point of having it is so you don't need to post this {censored} stuff. If you want guarantees , get a Mac. Otherwise read up, do some homework & make your own choice, instead of making the 72345217th "what should I get?" post. You are the one buying/building You are the only one who knows what yuour needs are, You are the one who needs to make the final choice for yourself.

I have a lovely G5 PPC thanks Otherwise read up, do some homework & make your own choice, instead of making the 72345217th "what should I get?" post. Anything wrong with discussion? Sharing opinion & experience? I am the one buying I am the one building, I am the only one who knows the true identity of BATMAN. Only I can make the final choice for myself. You need to take a chill pill.

You need to take a chill pill. Why so serious friend? As I told you , get a Gigabyte, P35 chipset motherboard. Or if want expensive ones get the X38/X48 series from them. Whatever it is, they are the most friendly mobos you can get. (And everything is supported, sound may need a minor patching, but hardly there are any boards that can run an unpatched AppleHDA. However everything just works, on these boards, be it Firewire, USB or Ethernet.

I appreciate the ammount of noobs on here- but i have done my research, and i have made succesful installs of osx on 86 machines before- they just happen to be laptops. Despite the annoyance of lazy noobs making posts expecting everyone else to sort their problems it shouldnt be assumed everyone is like that. If more experienced forum members are going to be patronising, then frankly dont bother posting- dont be your own worst enemy. If you simply want to steam off at someone, dont choose me. So, back on subject- thanks for your reply nirmalya. I will certainly look into the gigabyte boards- i am also considering mATX quad but weary about temperatures, i will see what gig have to offer. As i only require onboard vga, i am trying to steer clear of the intel 950 gfx- i have yet to find a kext that sorts the display out on my advent 7107 laptop (10.5.2) which has this gfx chipset. I am building the machine with the purpose of running Logic Pro and integrating with my external firewire pro audio gear. I will then be selling my PPC as it too lacking in occasional portability. So which board are you using, and which osx install method?

Hagar Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 take a look at the number of Junk posts (and yes, they are junk) on this topic. the whole point of making the wiki was to avoid getting snowed under by this {censored}. If we dlete them we just get snowed under by "where did my post go?" you had your answer, to a question you never should have asked, now be happy. I'm glad you find adding to the difficulty of others in finding useful information amusing.

greenthumb Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 You neednt have replied if you didnt want to, same applies to anyone else. Im not here to mess you around Hagar, i appreciated the existence of the forum its very useful as are the wikis. Im only here to gain and share knowledge. If you consider this thread as clutter amongst more worthy posts then by all means move it to another forum. Like i said im not here to mess you around, i just find it a little unsettling that youve taken the time to rant at me- we truly have a junk thread as a result.
