Perfect PCI Card?

[SpikezHackz]

Hey guys

 

So i just built myself my first 10.6 snow leopard hackintosh pc and it's pretty awesome even if i do say so myself...

 

Here are all the specs:

 

Motherboard:

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5

Max 24GB RAM, 6 RAM-slots, 2xGigabit LAN, 10xSATA, 12xUSB2.0, 3xFW400.

 

Memory:

OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK.

 

CPU:

Intel i7 920, 2.66 GHz.

 

HDD:

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"

 

PSU:

COOLER MASTER Silent Pro 600 (13,5cm fan, modular cabling).

 

DVD Drive:

Pioneer DVR-S18L series 22X22 DVD/CD Writer Serial ATA - Black

 

Ok, back to my point, i was wondering if someone could recommend me a good PCI card to use for my build?

 

Thanks for your help

Hi, I too am looking for an answer to this. I believe the best choice is the Broadcom BCM94321MC mini pci-e card, which you would then have to buy an adaptor for, such as this Link.

 

This is supposed to work, as the Broadcom BCM94321MC card is the same hardware as is used in one of the past Apple airport cards, so allegedly works natively. But whether it will work in future builds of Snow Leopard is another question.

 

There are several threads about this topic, it would be nice to finally get a definitive answer.

Thread 1

Thread 2

 

Then of course there is the question about whether they work in both the 32bit and 64 bit kernals.

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks for replying so quickly

I had a quick run through these threads and they helped me a lot, but in the end i found it easiest to just go to the HCL and find the best card i could find on there, look like i'll be getting the Netgear WPN311 from Amazon....

Thanks anyway
