Dougmwpsu Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 hi all, pretty new to the osx86 scene, and i'm building a new computer so that i'll be able to get in on the action. i have an opportunity to grab a good deal on a mobo, cpu, ram combo off hardocp, and i was about to jump on it, but i thought i'd ask all your option first. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813135027 -mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819116253 -cpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820178089 -mem it looks like the ram and cpu is a non issue. i think the Pentium d series all support sse3, so i'm most worried about the motherboard. does this have a decent chance of working? if so i'll go for it because this is a pretty good combo deal. thanks all and congradulate me on my first post!

Overdriven Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 What would you use for video acceleration? The board has an S3 Unichrome ({censored} IGP). By the way... It never hurts to check the HCL on the Wiki....

Dougmwpsu Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 i did check the wiki, but the board wasn;t specifically mentioned. i'm not sure if it's possible to compare chipsets to see if it would work or if it's essentially a gamble on if your motherboard is compatible. \ i'll be using a radeon 9600 for video and hopefully i can get the onboard audio working. if not, i have a usb soundcard that does stereo out only that should be compatible.
