Synaesthesia Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's a perfect build. Go for any of the nVidia cards, except the 9600GT. Although that works now, it's just a little trickier. Use Boot-132 or iDeneb or anything. Search the forum if you want some help, or ask here.

Wman Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 you once found me a boot 132 guide for this board. I lost my bookmarks, so where is that again? (I'll do a search, but in case I don't find it...) I bought the following today: GA-P35-DS3L 8600 GT with 256mb DDR3 LITE-ON S-ATA DVD-drive dual-rail 500 watt PSU lian-li pc-v1000 case set of four perforated aluminum bezels for case (as the stock ones are ugly) Oh. I found it. Nice, a guide specifically for my motherboard. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117834 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/145190-just-another-compatibility-check-before-build/#findComment-1033281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaap Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 That setup works perfectly. Very nice. I have a nearly identical system, and have built 4 of the exact same system for other people- all are happy campers. Definitely go with Retail (10.5.4) and boot-132. You should have a look at this thread on anandtech. Kaido, the guide author has installing on that exact hardware down to a science. His 2.0 guide provides everything you need for a perfect install, so be sure to read through the guide. In any case, it's pretty hard to go wrong with that hardware.
