snip3r Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Hi all x86 mac gurus, The following is my current configuration and would like your comments on the least cost approach to run mac os x w/ sound + network. Here's my configuration 1) AMD 3000+ SSE2 s939 2) MSI SLI Platinum ( http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mai...ail.php?UID=641 ) 3) Maxtor SATA 300gb => to partition 10gb for OS X 4) Logitech Wireless Keyboard + Mouse (both USB ) 5) nvidia 6600gt I'm thinking of getting an MSI neo4 board since wiki said that K8N-NEO4 Platinium MSI Sound output (onboard realtek ALC850) works (inputs seem have latency), no SATA on the nforce4 chipset. USB and MArvell LAN ports are OK pre-patched 10.4.5 DVD Few queries 1) any issues w/ the onboard sound? does it still have surround? 2) I have an ipod nano. Any issues? Would like to move to Intel Duo Core + i945 board but I think it's a little bit costlier? Thanks all for replies.

snip3r Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Just wanted to verify if the onboard ALC850 has any issues w/ input(mic) and output.
