krypto Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 This is the MCP79 Nvidia chipset thats used by the new MACBOOKs.... Boards based on this chipset are available from ASUS / MSI / EVGA etc . Anyone know how easy it is to install Leopard using one of the above motherboards using the MCP79 chipset. What version of the Leopard DVD supports this ? Has any one tried? I guess it will be awesome to have complete out of the box support for Leopard using the boards based of this chipset. Am planning to buy one and experimenting , but i need some one to guide me with what version of the Leopard DVD i should be using.....

meecrob87 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 You do realize that those boards were just announced about 5 days ago and that it doesn't even look like you can even buy them yet, let alone test them out. Even when they do become available im sure its going to take a while for people to get them, i would also guess that they will be in the $120+ price range as well. So basically you need to calm down and wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicbath Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I've looked at this as well. Looks like it could be what the Mini should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
