vlad1966 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 It's always been a dream of mine to be able to build my own Mac (with hardware I pick & choose) running OS X. With the help of this great site, it seems I might be able to do that. I always want the latest/greatest hardware, & I've seen some people have success on this site with Asus P5K series mobos that use the newest intel chipset, so I'm wondering how well this Abit IP35 mobo would work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813127030 Other mobos I'm considering: - Intel Bad Axe2 - Asus P5W DH Deluxe - Gigabyte 965P DS2 1.3 - Asus Commando WOULD APPRECIATE ANY OTHER MOBO SUGGESTIONS. Mostly I want a mobo that has IDE, SATA, Ethernet, USB working out-of-the-box. I already have these Components: - Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811112105 - Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817139002 Other components I'm considering: - Sapphire Radeon X1950XT 512MB - 2GB RAM: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16820231065 - 2 DVD/RW drives (either PATA or SATA, depending on which would work better) - 3 Samsung 500GB SATA HDDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewintheav Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks VLAS1966, ...for explaining to me how to get my onboard audio working ...for the Abit IP35 Pro. The onboard ALC888 is now working! I actually did not see all of the exact same details within the plist files that you posted, but whatever I ended up doing worked. I have stereo audio out, but no mic or line inputs. I have seen methods or installers to get all 6 ports of a different ALC to work. I wonder if there is a way to do the same for the ALC888 on the Abit IP35 Pro motherboard. I also wonder if there is a way to edit a ICH8R driver to work with the IP35's ICH9R to improve the hardrive performance. I have read posts on this website saying that with the proper driver certain hardisk controllers should operate at full speed.
