dementho Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi, I wanted to know which Mainboard I should choose to build my Hackintosh system. It should be as stable as possible and upgradable. CPU: Core 2 Duo (E8500) or Quad Core (Q9550) RAM: 8GB RAM ( up to 16GB upgradable) HDD: minimum 2( upgradable for more HDDs) PCI-E: minimum 1 PCI-E x16 and 3 PCI-E x1 ( if more than better) Everything should work as much as possible. Audio, no panics and so on. The most Mac for a less Mac price Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/158940-most-stablereliable-mainboard-for-mac-os-1056/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

"3 PCI-E x1" what do you need all that for? - Firewire Card - 1 more Graphic Card - 1 reserved for maybe something else. I do have 2 monitors running on my old Win system, but need at least one more and all cards I know just have two DVI and VGA links.
