vbetts Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Well, I need some things before I can switch over to os x86. I plan on selling my motherboard, my ram, my cpu, and hope to get atleast $100-$150 out of that, and probably sell a couple things like my dead xbox. But, I need to know what I need. I already have an idea on a couple of things. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819116037 Intel dual core E2160 (If dual core with this cpu works properly yet) Motherboard- I don't have one chosen, only because I need a specific one.I need one that supports IDE harddrives, but also fully supports osx86 too. READ-MUST HAVE ONBAORD GMA 950. If it doesn't I need a cheap video card that'll work with osx86 fully aso with 128 ram. OR I need a cheap 939 mobo that fully supports osx86, and if onboard video doesn't permit this, then a cheap video card that's fully supported.

vbetts Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 I would go to Intel, but there are still some issues. I need one that supports IDE harddrives. I have 2 of them that I can't get rid of. Unless I can atleast plug in one IDE harddrive on the same cable as my dvd burner, and buy an external case for the second harddrive. Where as, with AMD, I have the cpu, ram, and harddrives ready, I would just need a cheap video card, which I'm looking at this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814127273 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59136-need-some-things/#findComment-421722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 If you're getting the e2160, e2140, e4400 or similar, I recommend the Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2. It has GMA 950, as well as onboard networking and sound working. Plus it's cheap and small!

vbetts Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 It's not that I don't care about Sata( I really don't, not that big of a performance difference anyways.) I can't afford one, that's all. Synaesthesia, Can I use an ide hard drive and a dvd burner on the same line with that board?

thegodfaza Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 If your thinking of getting a 939 board, get what I have. EPoX EP-9HDAI PRO Socket 939 VIA K8T800 Pro ATX AMD Motherboard It has IDE and ATA. Downside is it sports only two RAM slots. It also has onboard audio and digital audio out. Does not have built in video but has an AGP 4x/8x port. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59136-need-some-things/#findComment-422625 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumford Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I think you should spend $28 more and get this 2gb ddr 800 ram on sale http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820220144 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59136-need-some-things/#findComment-430417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'm really pushing it right now with what I have....>_> Though 2 gb would be nice, it's not something that's in my budget.
