TDMaster Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 i am looking to buy Mini-ITX motherboard for iPhone Development.. i did a search on the WIKI but none of them are Mini-ITX boards i am looking for Atom CPU the chipsets are kinda different between the boards so i dont know what choose.. it doesnt matter to me what OSX (if u know differnently please tell me) to install on it as long it will support xCode in a well manner loading and emulation time.

Thank you in advnace Hello TDMaster! Extremely bad idea! If you are planing to start any serious development activities you will have to keep OS X and XCode up to date. As the Atom isn't supported by vanilla kernels you will always need a modified kernel. Also keep in mind that the performance of the Atom CPUs is lousy and price-performance ratio is even worse. The NM10 chipset's integrated graphics isn't supported by OS X (no drivers) and boards with NVIDIA ION are much more expensive. The best choice for an inexpensive and reliable development system would be a Mac mini, but if you are not willing to pay the extra charge for an original Apple computer get a cheap Sanybridge system, for example a mainboard with H61chipset and a Celeron G530 CPU. This combination offers good performance for a reasonable price and is known to work with Lion. Regards, Mausi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mieze Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 what do u guys think off VMWare from Windows to MAC for Development (i7 computer):? For development you need a machine that's 100% compatible with the latest version of Xcode at least if you are planning to publish via iTunes Store and only a real Mac will give you this guarantee.
