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 ?

Don't know much about that board, but I have this:

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!
