u1m2 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 how is this build for osx, should arrive here tomorrow... MSI 945G Neo-F (the one with black PCB) Intel Pentium D 930 1GB DDR2-533 mobo and ram will be here tomorrow. Hopefully everything will go fine, I will post some screenshots and perhaps a list of what I had to do to get everything working... sound • High Definition link controller integrated in Intel® ICH7 chip. • Audio codec Realtek® ALC882. - Compliant with Azalia 1.0 spec. - Supports DTS effect. lan • Intel® 82573L PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller - Supports 10 / 100 / 1000 Mb/s. - Compliane with PCI 2.2. - Supports ACPI Power Management. I believe sata and GMA are supported already so just sound and lan to worry about... thanx for the replies.

386dx Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hi, what's up man. I want to know if your ethernet controller is working under OSX. this mobo seems to be an intersting option for sound on ALC 882 just have a look at this topic: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?s=...st&p=121883 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21151-new-osx-build/#findComment-140302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
u1m2 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Cool, thanks for the link. I am just going to install OSX in a few hours. Multitasking with pentium d and this board has been quite a good experience under windows imho, I just hope the same will apply to OSX. My only problem is that I have a hdd on ITE IDE which has all my movies, music etc... Have to get a sata converter real soon.
