Nathan Bellowe Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 This is my second hackintosh, the first being an old computer that I was just playing around. I want to create a hackintosh pro. Heres what Im looking for in a motherboard. 2 sockets!!!! SATA slots -- more is always better, maybe 4-6?? 4 or 6 RAM slots! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART I'd prefer an intel socket, but AMD is ok too. Any advice? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be2003 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 LOL Maybe just get a nice core 2 duo or like one of the new i3, i5, i7 processors from intel? I'm pretty sure 4 ram slots is plently. Instead of having 4-6 Sata drives, maybe just 1 or 2 large ones? You definitely have alot of research ahead of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Bellowe Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Bump! With an actual answer please. I need 2 sata for dvd drives, and 2 for hard drives. One for boot (ssd) and one for music/movies etc.... It will be a gaming station so, 2 pci-e slots would be preferable, (not neccessary). Ill be using a Radeon HD 5770 1GB. I dont think that telling you drives would matter, but I can if you'd like! Thanks! I didn't understand something, now I get it. It doesnt matter the amount of sata, I can use an sata controller to expand the amount right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
