sg Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 amazing board for overclocking, and for osx support everything works except the onboard wifi card (driver should be released in a few weeks actually, official ones). few things that you need to do if you're installing from jas 10.4.8 release -use a IONetworking kext that works, the jas one doesnt work -install taruga's ALCInject/AppeHDA kext to get sound fully working (audio in/out/etc) anyways, i have a small guide/blog with my experiences and all the needed files to get this working: http://rakis.net/~justin/blog/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37106-asus-p5w-dh-deluxe/#findComment-263989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorosh Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I also have that board, and I can only recommend it to you. Great board, both for Windows and Mac OS X. Mac OS X install went so smoothly, I was amazed. You have more detailed report about my experience on page 4 of P5W DH Deluxe thread on this forum (in Hardware subforum). I practically haven't touched any kexts manually, nor Terminal window. Everything works, like sg said, except Wi-Fi. P5w DH Deluxe and E6600 is great combo, if you're taking C2D route you won't find much better solutions.

ddofborg Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) I have a P5N-SLI board, with the nForce chipset, but I can't get 10.4.8 get to work. I have the JaS 10.4.8 Intel SSE3 Only Install DVD. I get the 'Still waiting for the root device error'. I read other people get this message too, but the proposed solutions didn't work for me. If anyone has any quick tips , they are welcome. Later this weekend I'll put some more work into it.

sg Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 newegg.com has an "OEM" version of this board for only $160. i'm not quite sure what you get with OEM tho. but that saves you over $60 compared to retail. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...82E16813131025R Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37106-asus-p5w-dh-deluxe/#findComment-264338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
