archer75 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I have a socket 478 P4 Prescott lying around here and am looking for the most OSX86 compatible motherboard out there with fully working audio and video(1600x1200) onboard as well as a onboard firewire port. So far i'm not really finding all that much. Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23075-most-compatible-socket-478-board/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I use a MSI-PM8MV, USB needs patching with 10.4.6 Kexts and Audio Fix required but works. I would recommend the Intel Orignal Boards Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23075-most-compatible-socket-478-board/#findComment-152897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockett Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'm using an: Intel D865GLC - everything works out of the box (except on board video). Throw an X1600Pro in there and you're sorted.

Which brand of video card are you using? Or will any x1600 card work? How about a x1900? Is OSX running at full speed? No issues? As usable as buying a mac?
