brighton Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Would this motherboard http://www.directron.com/blkd945gntlr.html work with OSX. I mean LAN, VIDEO, AUDIO, SATA, ect... It looks like the board only has one IDE inpout so i have to use a SATA hdd because i need to use the IDE for the CD Drvie obviously..is that going to be ok? OSX installs on SATA ?

plympton Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Don't know much about that board, but I have this: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=MB-945GDVI Everything works except for the LAN, and a $4 PCI Lan card works wonders as a replacement, so that was no biggie. Has DVI built-in (works), and sound works with a minor tweak. Very happy with this setup! -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
