ravenxbishop Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 i know its a weird question right? ok, i have some old pci sound cards (seriously high end ones) with os x drivers.... and its time to update my studio so i need 3 open pci slots... 4 or more would be nicer... and i want something that i can definitely get OSX working on... i'd like to not struggle too much... and price is only a BIT of an object... i can drop some decent money... i'm just trying to see if there's a way to search hardware by slots so i can get what i need... if that's not possible (i mean i tried putting the word "slots" in the search terms in the hardware DB and got squat) ... is there somewhere you can search hardware by ... compatible cpu... so i can at least get the most power. i hope this is not seen as a "tell me what to buy" post, because its really more of a "what tools are available" post.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Apple never made an Intel Mac with PCI slots. If you have PCI soundcards with OS X drivers, those drivers are likely written for PowerPC based Macs (G4 etc) and will not work at all on a Hackintosh with an Intel or AMD CPU.
