Macarelo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hey, I found a cheap shop that has old S.423 P4 on sale. I´ve seen one really cheap with this motherboard: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mother...?ProductID=1355 Do you think is hackintoshable? I would have to get a modern agp card, a lan card, and probably a sound card... but what do you think about the chipset?

Macarelo Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes, I know an Atom board would be better, and I know there are better boards out there. But you are assuming I am next to you and I am not. I live in Argentina, and PCs aren´t as cheap as they are where you are. Besides, I might be able to build this PC for 80 dollars, including mobo, P4 1.7ghz, 1gb ram and FX5200. I just need a PC for surfing and MP3, and for that price, a Hackintoshable PC is great (at least over here). So, please, I would just like to know if there would be any problem with the chipset and the audio. I´ve read many people have (or had) that chipset and had fully working pcs, but just to make sure, I´m asking here. Oh, and also, do you think it will support Leopard? Or is it better to just stick with Tiger?

Nick14 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 The sound wont work and the preformace would be terible even in tiger but if you get that board i recommend you using linux on it like ubuntu Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/161972-old-p4-what-do-you-think/#findComment-1133614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
