archer75 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I am looking for a socket 478 P4 board. I have a spare prescott CPU, DDR ram, hard drive, case, etc. I am looking for the most compatible board out there along with a video card for running OSX. Any suggestions?

The Shaun Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 There's nothing perfectly compatible with a 478 socket. Your best bet is to find a cheap D915GAVL on eBay and a cheap LGA775 Prescott.

The Asrock P4Dual 915 is about the best for a 478 processor. With Prescott you get SSE3 The built-in GMA900 works well, but slow compared to an AGP card. Search on Asrock P4Dual to see what others have to say.

archer75 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 How about a video card? I haven't had much luck with my x1900xtx in OSX. It works but has some very strange issue. But if i'm going to build a box just for OSX I can just get another cheap card that is fully compatible.
