Kujila Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Well, I'm considering plopping down a few hundred to build myself a neat little OSX box to compliment my main machine. I'm aware that the GMA 950 from Intel works very well, however, the GMA 950 does not support T&L and seems to be rubbish for larger 3D applications... So my questions are these: 1. What is the best (non-Intel based) graphics accelerator for OSx86? 2. Is OSx86 ready for Intel-OSX gaming? As in, Mac games with x86 binaries? (OpenGL) 3. Perhaps a PC graphics card could be modified at a firmware level to work better with OSx86? Thanks for the help all I love Macs, I just can't justify buying hardware that I can build myself for at least half the price.

sg Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 if you dont care about high-end gaming that much, an nvidia 7300 or 7600 will do. if you want to spend some more go for a 7900. make sure the card doesnt have more than 256M.

Kujila Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) Well, an update: Since purchasing my new PC, I have the following available and at my disposal: Athlon 64 3200+ (939) 1 GB DDR (PC3200 I think) 40 GB WD HDD ATI x1600 PRO 512MB PCI-E --or-- Geforce 7300 LE (Steals system memory) I know most of the hardware works already since I had used that same motherboard about a year ago (I believe, give or take a few months). Networking, onboard sound, the works,... Now I just have to get up off my butt and put the thing together! I need a nice 15" or 17" LCD, too.... a mac(hack!) in the kitchen would be nice. You know the saying about Apples and doctors and all...
