Xerxes Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I have been doing a lot of research on this website and the possibilities with computer parts these days seem endless. I want to get the Intel D 945 Processer and an Intel 945G mobo. Which mobo would you suggest out of these: 945G Mobos I want everything to be working and from what I have researched.. all the features on these should work. If anyone has a better and/or cheaper suggestion.. I would appreciate that as well. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Cool, I also read somewhere that you can get dual monitor support with that motherboard. Do I have to do/buy something extra to get that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solaar Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I recently built a box with the D945GPMLKR which has about the same specs. Everything except for the audio worked out of the box with an 10.4.6 Jas install and 10.4.7 upgrade. The Sigmatel 9223 requires a small hack (you can find details on the forums here) and then the audio only outputs through the input. Also keep in mind that the latest boards have only one PATA line for 2 IDE devices max, so if you need more than one HD you'll have to look into SATA. It works well though. I had no issues so far. As for dual monitors Intel offers an expansion board but AFAIK it's DVI only. Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedisinclair Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I bought an Asus P5GV-MX mobo and EVERYTHING worked right away with no kext editing or patches... (everything except sound IN... out worked immediately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpeugh Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I have had good luck with the Asus P5LD2-VM. Audio in does not work but out does with a patch and you can get a Pentium D 805 for pretty cheap and overclock it 10% easy on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
