Going to buy a barebones system

 

Possibly this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-3-2GHz-VIDEO-SOU...1QQcmdZViewItem

 

I did check the compatibility tables and it looks like the processor will be good, but I am wondering about the motherboard.

 

I also have a Radeon 9600 256 MB that I can stick in there. Will it leave mouse trails no matter what?

 

Will I have all the features including sound?

 

Input on this would be greatly appreciated or possible advise on buying something better.

 

Thanks

That system won't work well. The graphics card is no good for OSX86. You are better off just putting a system together yourself and buying a motherboard that someone on the wiki says works well.

 

Motherboard must have: Intel GMA 950 graphics (only cheap video solution that works well) and a PCI express port (for future upgrading to a x1600 if you want).

I don't think that this is a good system to go with, the PCChips chipset may give you problems not sure if it's even supported. The video is not supported and not sure what the network card it has. I would take poofyhairguy advice and build your own system, it might cost a few bucks more but you will be better off. Have a search here for a thread for building a system for $199 it will give you a starting point.
