tomnic Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 You should have to flash 1333Wolfy's bios with a leo-compatible one. You'd better use a Gigabyte GA-945GCMX-S2, both audio in / out working and no bios issues, at all!!!

mitch_de Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Avoid some Asus,Msi and Asrock mainboards ! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123094-asrock-1333wolfdale-does-it-work-like-the-1333conroe/#findComment-870891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
candykane Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 don't avoid the asus P5W it was the first Leo board with its own custom installer and the older asrock boards worked fine (conroe) newegg are offering a nice board DFI INFINITY 975X only 69 bucks it has the same chip set as the Asus P5w and the intel badaxe iven the same sound and lan chips so you cant go wrong here recent bios updates made it a good clock able board 2. one more tip ddr2 800 is best ram for your buck other ram just give1-5% speed increase.

mitch_de Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I would prefer GIGABYTE P35 DS3 Series Boards - also cheap, you can use modern(newest) CPUs, much overclocking funczions in BIOS, AHCI good=FAST native SATA, NO NEED for bios modding AND you can use the GREAT Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3x Control Center ( http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=121805 ).
