jaber Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi, I'm new to this osx86, hackintosh, but a long time mac user. I want to build an AMD Phenom II rig, preferbably with nvidia chipset (lol ati's okay though) I've read there are troubles with this and that mobos - like Asus M3n78 geforce 8200 have audio and res. issues. Asus m3a78 meanwhile has no lan, audio and ide... So, which mobo should I buy? MSI? Gigabyte? Asus? etc.etc?

Synaesthesia Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 If you're gonna build a Hackintosh, just get an Intel setup. You might not like it, but it's more compatible - Apple uses Intel. If you really wanna go AMD I suppose we can look around and see what there is, but I recommend Intel.

tsukasa73 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would curious to see what you recommend, just because I have 3 AMD athlon dual core rigs all on asus mobo's. I was going to try and dual boot all of them. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/156923-which-mobo-should-i-buy/#findComment-1103421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marclh Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 You can also try using a M3A79-T motherboard, I'm using it right now and everything is supported.
