lc31c Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I know this has been asked before and i have tried searching however i was not able to find some proper results and also got a search error. Anyhow i need a suggestion for a motherboard that is MicroATX that can run Mac OS X 10.6 very well. I know Some Full size motherboards are fantastic at running Retail Snow Leo however I need a mATX motherboard to do so. It has to be a Socket 775 (i have a Core 2 Quad Q9300) And can either support DDR2 or DDR3 prefferably with newer chipsets. Thank you. P.S. I think i posted this in the wrong section, please move if needed.

agrajag Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 you can get gigabyte g31m-es2l mainboard, its compatible with leo & snowleopard with cameleon 2rc3 and ep45ud3p snowleopardtool. only sound not working. you need also an compatiblegraphik like 9400 or 9500nvidea. The version 1.0 of this board was really great (onboard LAN worked too) but the version 2.0 that is out now does not have a working onboard LAN so you will need a PCI LAN card or a usb-enet adapter (I used an Apple one). In Canada you can get these from NCIX for a good price.

AppleIIGuy Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 My Intel DQ35JO works great under Snow Leopard Ethernet/Firewire work fine also and audio works with voodoohda. The onboard video doesn't work but just put in a compatible nvidia or Ati card and you will do fine.
