runwitmeeh Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'm planning on building a new system that will be compatible with OSx86, but want to use an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200 processor. I was wondering if there was anyone out there with a near perfect stable system working? I do realize that one of the biggest problems is SATA compatibility, but I'm willing to work around this. Audio will also not be an issue for me. I do also realize that getting a core 2 duo with an intel chipset will be much more compatible. But that is not my question, so please, no "get an intel" comments. I just personally prefer AMD because I believe they have a better cost/performance ratio than intel's. If you do have a pretty decent AMD system working, please post your hardware. Thanks a lot guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMAN1 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The tubgirl 10.4.9 works great with my x2 4400 toledo core. I use the NF4 mobo with a 7800gt. everything works great except sata and sleep wake-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubsterboo Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yeah, get an intel comments are nonsence. Kind of an amd fanboy myself. Love my system, slightly old. But still performs really well in terms of cpu power. And it's very stable. I have a x2 4800 toledo with a nf4 a8n-sli and a 7600gt. Running tubgirl 10.4.9 and it all works well.

Headrush69 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 See my signature. I have 2 AMD systems, one dual core SSE3 and one single core SSE2 and both installed easily on SATA on Via based motherboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runwitmeeh Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hey! Thanks a lot guys! Yeah, I personally prefer AMD's over intel. Intel to me has that "name brand" syndrome. But hey macwanabe, SATA isn't giving you a problem with the nforce4? I've read a lot of posts saying that people have been getting data corruption or what not?? I was willing to work around it, but if it works, then great!! And headrush, what kind of mobo do you use? I'll check out the other hardware you guys have posted. Thanks again!

mrbash Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I think what is happening is that they are installing onto their PATA drive. Then using a patch to get SATA drives visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two motherboards I have are: MSI K8T Neo2-FIR K8T800 Pro ECS K8T890-A ATX S939 K8T890 DDR AGP PCI-E16 SATA RAID Sound LAN Motherboard You'll read reviews about the second that are less than flattering, but its because it is a dual AGP/PCI Express video system and the AGP actually acts like a PCI video card. Don't buy it for that, but if you are using a PCI-Express video card it is fine. This is also the reason you can find this board extremely cheap. People think it is garbage because of the AGP fiasco, but everything runs perfect as an PCI-E system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleIIGuy Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 my X2 4800+ Socket 939 works great. MSI K8N Neo4 Ultra MB and a Geforce 7600GT works great with the Tubgirl 10.4.9 DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
