mingistech Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I'm willing to fork out a few bucks to get this working... what is the best motherboard and CPU combo for running this natively?

mingistech Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 i've seen one person say that the motherboard in the Apple Dev Kits is the Intel D915GUXLK. i guess i'll look into that a lil more.

skn Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 i've seen one person say that the motherboard in the Apple Dev Kits is the Intel D915GUXLK. i guess i'll look into that a lil more. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know if the onboard lan from 915GUXLK (10/100/1000) is supported. Maybe the supported onboard lan is the one from the D916GUXL (10/100).

macdonalder Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Yes the dev board from Apple is a modified GUXL(K) board (the difference between the K and non-K is simply the gigabit LAN, 10/100 being an Intel chip and the 10/100/1000 being a Marvel/Yukon chip). It's full-sized brother is the GEVL(K). I've got a GEVL and everything works (Sound, Video, USB, SATA, Net, etc) except I've been having a little trouble with the video. Works fine, but getting Quartz Extreme and Core Image working for accelerated 2D is proving to be frustrating (using xplode's native install). Regardless, it's probably the most complete, 'fullproof' option out there. Also to mention I guess is that the K versions of the above boards occasionally (I've seen some with, some without) sport Infineon's TPM IC (little one right next to the SATA headers) so one could play with that a bit should one desire. Now for a bit of opinion... getting OSX working on a PC is all well and good, but I'd hardly use this for a desktop/workstation OS yet. It still has its detractors and going out and getting hardware just to see Apple change the packaging to rule out installation furthur down the road. I mean if you want to, by all means, but personally I'd rather wait and see how this develops than sink money into something that may or may not pan out. Maybe it's just my broke student syndrome kicking in, who knows Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/241-motherboard-and-cpu-to-buy-for-best-compatibility/#findComment-2054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
