Bagarjet Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi, First of all I want to thank everyone for their help. I've been reading your threads and found them really interesting. As you must have noticed it is almost impossible to buy a mac pro in Argentina it is arround u$s4166 (also 3 pesos equal 1 dollar). Would you please help me build the best posible hackintosh? This is the hardware I chose by reading the compatible lists: -PCI-Express 16x Asus Radeon EAX1600XT SILENT/TVD 256 DDR3 ViVo/DVI -MEM DDR2 2GB 533MHZ OCZ(1024X2) -HD 200GB W.DIGITAL 7200 SATAII -Asrock ConRoe Xfire eSata2 -INTEL CORE 2 DUO CONROE E6300 1066MHZ BOX Is it correct? Would you change anything? My sound card will be my phonic helixboard 24 firewire. Thanks in advance Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagarjet Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Thanks for answering BaYlisS. What asus would you suggest? I'd like to use ddr2 ram, serial ata 2, and a silent pcie graphics card at least as good as the x800gt. I'm gladly surprised of how fast you posted some help. Thanks Again.

asap18 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 either a p5b or p5w dh. maybe even an intel 975xbx it may seem expensive for these motherboards but they will be very upgradable with kentsfield in the long run. either a p5b or p5w dh. maybe even an intel 975xbx it may seem expensive for these motherboards but they will be very upgradable with kentsfield in the long run.

Bagarjet Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Thanks Asap18 and Kiko. I decided I'll buy this one: Motherboard Socket 775 FSB1066 Asus P5B Dx-WiFi DDR2/PCIe/R.SATA2/1394/7.1/2Glan CPU Socket 775 FSB 533 Intel Pentium D 805 2,66 Ghz 2x1M Dual-Core Box PCI-Express 16x Asus Radeon EAX1600XT SILENT/TVD 256 DDR3 ViVo/DVI MEM DDR2 2GB 533MHZ OCZ(1024X2)DISI HD 200GB W.DIGITAL 7200 SATAII would you change anything else? I think this machine will be great. I'll only use the osx to run digital performer or logic audio with my phonic helix 24 firewire. Also I have firewire problems with xp. Thanks very much you were very helpfull. Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
