Lamertus Loire Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hey guys, What a great forum, helped me out a lot already, so thanks in advance! First of all, I think my Core Duo Mini is nice, but I'd like to have a little more power with the option to upgrade my system - and I don't feel like buying a Mac Pro. So I'm thinking about buying this hardware: 1) A Spire Pininfarina Case, cause they're oh so sexy. 2) A P5B Deluxe. 3) 2 Gigs of Corsair DDR2 RAM. 4) An XFX 7950gt (heatpipe) 5) A Seagate Barracuda 7200 SATA Drive (320gb) As far as I've seen, that's a pretty popular config and there's even a thread here online for the P5B, but I'd like to know if someone has the same hardware and has encountered any problems and get some advice about the following issues: 1) Is the onboard Wifi working? Onboard Gigabit Lans? Onboard Audio? 2) I currently have 2 IDE Drives - Can I simply keep using them with this config? 3) Will the Titan Kext work on this GPU? 4) What are some of the issues I'll probably run into? Do I still have to change the USB Kexts to the ones from 10.4.3? I plan to use JAS 10.4.8 Install DVD for the installation and really hope it'll work. So, hope you guys can answer some of these questions, I'd be eternally grateful!
