Jordan K Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'm thinking of building a new pc with the intent to put both Vista and OS X 10.4.9 (uphuck v1.3) in dual boot. I've chosen some parts that I am thinking of getting for it, can anyone confirm if they will work in OS X in particular? The parts I plan to purchase are- Motherboard: Asus P5N-E SLI (http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=24062) Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 RAM: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4D (http://www.digitan.com.au/product.php?productid=39160&cat=1394&page=2) Graphics Card: Asus EN7900GS (NVidia 7900GS) Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 320GB 7200.10 Cooler: Tuniq Tower 120 (http://pccasegear.com.au/prod5029.htm) Power Supply: Corsair HX 520W CD/DVD Drive: Samsung SH-S182D Case: Cooler Master Centurion 534 Please let me know if any of these parts won't work with OSX86 10.4.9 as I don't want to waste what little money I have!!!

Hi - 1) please read the 'newbie info' stickie a few inches above your post 2) check out the HCL for OS X 10.4.8 3) these forums have an excellent search function into which you can copy/paste your h/w 4) if you bother to look through these forums you will see far, far too many of these too-lazy-to-look threads; few get answered.

First off, I'm not a newbie, I've already installed OS X on a number of computers that I've already got and those of a few friends, I just thought it would be wise to ask at this forum before I go and spend $1500. I'm aware of the Hardware Compatability List at the OSX86 project Wiki and I've searched through the site but not found all that much in relation to my particular hardware. I have done some searches and found out some info about a few of the parts but not all, so I made a new post regarding the compatability of the parts I didn't find any information about and included the rest of the hardware in the computer also. I realise that I probably won't get many genuine replies to this but why not make a post and see if anyone's willing to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hold their value exceptionally well, are surprisingly good value new (in the US) anyway, & will of course run OS X seamlessly, exceptionally quietly, & without hassle.

Kilopopo Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yes the hardware works with os x. the forums that has p5n-e in the titles tells how to get the drivers and other stuff working. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
