Ravi7791 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hello all. I plan to order my parts tonight or tomorrow. This is what I have so far: Powermac G5 Case ThermalTake TR2 W0070 430W Power Supply Pentium D 820 eVGA GeFORCE 6600 256MB Video Card with PCI EXPRESS I need help choosing a mothboard. Something that wont require much work, and will alow me to overclock a little. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 You're so lucky to be able to get all of those great parts. Anyways here is a good cheap MoBo for a Pentium D and should fit in your Powermac case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravi7791 Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 Well, i sold my mini for $600 so that bumped up my budget Ah, That motherboard looks awsome for that price. But it only supports DDR, is that bad? Shouldn't i be looking for DDR2? And also, I don't mind if its not Micro ATX, I'm willing to cut some of the divider up in the Powermac case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Only having DDR is not really that bad. My iMac has only DDR and it works great. DDR2 only makes your RAM a slight bit faster. There's really not much of a difference. For that price, it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravi7791 Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Ya, you can get it from ebay. The people that sell it are from Allmac.com. You can buy it from there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualeviathan Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 You're so lucky to be able to get all of those great parts. Anyways here is a good cheap MoBo for a Pentium D and should fit in your Powermac case. Why would you even think of suggesting that mobo? It doesn't have GMA graphics, it uses a SIS chipset, and there's other compatibility problems. If you use that board, you're going to be disappointed at best. You'd be better off getting a board like the Asus P5LD2-VM that actually has working SATA and the GMA950 if you ever wanted QE or CI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Sorry. I forgot to check which graphics it used. But, even if you did choose this mobo you could still get an ATI card for graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
