Discostu2120 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 ECS 945g-m3 works perfectly. The audio kext needs to be modified to work with the ALC880 audio like the ALC882 on the P5ld2-vm. It also has onboard firewire unlike the p5ld2-vm. The only downside is that it only has 2 dimm slots. I'm actually considering selling mine to buy a board with 4 dimm slots so I can make use of the extra 2x512mb ddr2 I have. If you're interested, I'm only looking for about $70 shipped in the US 48 states. (board is 1 month old) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15577-alternative-to-asus-p5ld2-vm/#findComment-102768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
