BrendenB1030 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hello. I wasn't sure where I should exactly post this. If it's in the wrong section sorry. I'm going to be building my first computer and I'm building it in mind as running Mac OS X as my main OS and I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to take a look at the specifications and see about any of the kexts I would need or whatever. I expect that what I would need to use is ###### & ######. Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K - http://amzn.to/I8CsNP Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 http://amzn.to/I8CtBs Graphics Card: Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 6870 http://amzn.to/I8CGok Audio: Realtek ALC889 If anyone knows any suggestions for a good graphics card that is cheaper/powerful if you could share the info of it because I am currently using a NVIDIA GTS 250 and am stuck on 10.6.4 because there's a NVIDIA issue with getting error "NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception!" and not sure if I use it on the new build that the same issue will occur. It as well occurs on other Macs manufactured by Apple you can see it here at the Apple Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylorutah Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I am in the same boat. Stuck on 10.6.4 because of my video card. The Saphire 6870 is on Newegg for $169.99 does it work out of the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
