alfonzotan Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 It's dirt cheap ($140 in a sale I just saw) for an i7 board. Six RAM slots. Here's a cut-n-paste from the features list: General Features: Intel X58 + ICH10R chipset Socket 1366 Front Side Bus: 4.8 GT/s QPI mATX form factor Supports up to 24 GB DDR3 1066 MHz memory Realtek ALC888S 8+2 Channel HD Audio Realtek RTL8111DL 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet controller 24-pin ATX power supply connector Supports NVIDIA SLI RoHS compliant Anybody know anything about this sucker as a potential Snow Leopard platform?

grrrant Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 It is the OEM board for this HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...roduct=3942960# I've been searching for a i7 micro-ATX to build my next dual boot, and this one is nicely priced @ $140: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=IP...ULK&cat=MBB But it's running QPI @ 4.8GT/s, and who knows what sort of BIOS and Chipset support you will find for it for OC'ing and such... Maybe it can run a similar ASUS board's BIOS. There's some discussion over here and AT: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.as...hreadid=2292013 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/181925-anybody-familiar-with-the-asuspegatron-ipmtb-tk-intel-x58-sli-as-a-hackintosh-board/#findComment-1252840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hackintosh pro Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Sorry for reviving an 11-day old topic, but I just got this PC and I really want to put Snow Leopard on it. I get stuck at the infamous "using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 IO cluster buffer headers" when booting normal leopard. With getting Leopard on it, would iPC's ACPIfix fix this? And, zaq123, using iDeneb 10.5.6 works on mine, but it gets stuck at the error above.

danielmramos Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 This motherboard is used by HP to run all of its higher end Pavilion Elite desktop systems. Here is a topic I started in the "Complete Desktop" section of this forum to specifically tackle the task of getting HP Pavilion systems that utilize this motherboard to become a solid source of hackintosh hardware. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=232083 Please contribute if you feel so compelled. I believe that section of the forum is meant to track such topics as installing OS X on HP hardware.
