muxion Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi, Be sure to check HCL in Wiki for OSX version you plan to use - it lists what works and doesn't! Read people's sig to see what is working for them. Many have good success with D915 boards. Reading the reviews on Newegg can be helpful to see what problems people had with Asus P5LD2 (ie, IDE drives cause trouble on this board for some) and other boards you may consider. I chose Intel D945GTP because I wanted most compatible OSX and still able to use Pentium D (not for overclocker), but I found speed of Celeron D 336 very good, D930 cost 3X USD and is faster, but not 3X speed! Full video GMA950 and multi-boot menu working without tweaks (XP already installed). Sound and network need kext edits mentioned throughout forum. Once I took out NEC 3550 DVD and put in Pioneer A106, native install worked first time from 10.4.4 Myz. It failed 8 times before using different HDs and different OSX ver with the NEC DVD. Best wishes for good install of beautiful OSX.

muxion Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Ha ha! Well firephoenix, with AMD proc at that speed, I don't know what will run better on Intel except maybe graphics resolutions and refresh. Looks like you have a good machine now!

loc[a]lhost Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I just bought the ASUS P5LD2-V, 10.4.6 works just great out of the box, except the audio kext which I had to modify. The gigabit LAN works out of the box too. Great mobo, I certainly recommend it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/16286-searching-for-the-best-intel-motherboard/#findComment-105256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
