loudog3114 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I am going to be using a normal paralell IDE controller for my dvd rom and hard rive. I have heard the NIC is useless, and I have another NIC I know will work. For video card I have an 8500DV, which I know doesnt have QE/CI support yet which is fine. I am going to be using a Celeron D 2.93 with SSE3 support. Basically, I want to know what drivers/mods/etc I will have to make to have this system working optimally. Last time I installed 10.4.5 I got abysmal hard drive scores in xbench, which I assume is realted to the via ide controller?

instapho Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Heh, I just bought the same mobo.. haven't tried to install osx since formating tho. Had no idea the NIC wouldn't work, whats the problem here? Heres the newegg link to the mobo. Anyone know if there are any other issues with compatability besides the original one from OP and NIC... ie audio? etc.. etc..
